10. A method for producing and receiving signals, said method comprising:
-
performing equivalent time sampling by triggering transmit pulses followed by triggering corresponding receive pulses; and separating subsequent transmit pulses by delays, variation in the lengths of said delays being pseudorandom. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for sampling a signal, said method comprising:
-
providing a series of transmit and receive pulse pairs, wherein a time offset between a transmit operation and a receive operation in a given pulse pair is varied from a previous pulse pair so that said series of pulse pairs samples a returned wave; and inserting delays between each pulse pair, wherein variations in the delays between successive pulse pairs are pseudorandom. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A radar system transmitting a signal and receiving a returned signal, said radar system comprising:
-
means for performing equivalent time sampling on said returned signal; and means for varying a delay in a pulse repetition scheme of said equivalent time sampling means, said variation being pseudorandom. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
