Description
Summary:In this work an innovative clutter canceller for Continuous Wave GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) has been designed and implemented. An IQ modulator has been used to build up the central part of the device. The IQ modulator replaces more expensive components like digital controlled phase shifters and attenuators. This device also have wider dynamics with respect to linear vectorial modulator. To prove the feasibility of the system, the effect of signal feedthrough for IQ modulators is studied. Tests and measurements of the complete device are exposed.
