Abstract

A pulse radar for operation at 94 GHz and higher frequencies is shown to include an antenna, a diplexer and first detector that are each optically fed so that radio frequency signals may be, when transmitting, passed through the diplexer to the antenna and, when receiving, from the antenna through the diplexer to the first detector.
