CMOS UWB beamforming radar system

This paper reviews the advantages of ultra-wideband (UWB) beamforming transceiver in imaging and localization applications. The development of different architectures for UWB beamforming transmitter and receiver are also discussed. Design insights which lead to area and power efficient solutions are provided.
