From RF Circuits to FMCW Radar Signal Processing
I connected RF-circuit study to FMCW signal processing through chirp generation, transmit/receive chains, mixing, and IF sampling.

RF Circuit Blocks and the FMCW Signal Chain
Amplifiers, oscillators, PLLs, mixers, filters, couplers, isolators, and antennas connected to an FMCW chain.
Amplifiers: Gain, Noise, and Linearity
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Amplifiers: Gain, Noise, and Linearity.
Oscillators and VCOs
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Oscillators and VCOs.
PLLs and Frequency Synthesis
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of PLLs and Frequency Synthesis.
Mixers and IF Selection
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Mixers and IF Selection.
Frequency Multipliers
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Frequency Multipliers.
RF Filters and Prototype Responses
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of RF Filters and Prototype Responses.
Diplexers and Duplexers
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Diplexers and Duplexers.
Couplers, Dividers, and Combiners
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Couplers, Dividers, and Combiners.
Isolators and Circulators
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Isolators and Circulators.
Reading an Antenna as an RF Port
Rather than memorize the whole transceiver, I isolated the inputs, outputs, and role of Reading an Antenna as an RF Port.
