1. A short pulse microwave transceiver apparatus comprising:

  • a transmit clock for generating a transmit clock signal;

    a pulsed transmit oscillator for producing transmitter RF bursts in response to the transmit clock signal;

    a transmit antenna connected to the transmit oscillator to transmit the transmitter RF bursts;

    a receive clock for generating a receive clock signal;

    a pulsed local oscillator for generating gating RF bursts in response to the receive clock signal;

    a harmonic sampler connected to the pulsed local oscillator;

    a receive antenna connected to the harmonic sampler to receive RF bursts;

    wherein the gating RF bursts from the pulsed local oscillator gate the harmonic sampler to detect RF bursts received by a receive antenna;

    circuitry responsive to the harmonic sampler to provide a detected baseband output.
