1. A radio receiver for receiving a frequency-modulated and pulse-shaped radio signal, comprising:
- at least one mixer; and
a receiver element that receives a pulse wherein a duration of a pulse period is shorter than a duration of a frequency modulation of the received frequency-modulated and pulse-shaped radio signal;
wherein;
the at least one mixer is configured for mixing the received frequency-modulated and pulse-shaped signal with a mixing signal, wherein the mixing signal has only similar or identical frequency-modulation to the signal of said received frequency-modulated and pulse-shaped radio signal; and
the radio receiver is configured to extract at least one pair of associated spectral lines from the received frequency-modulated and pulse-shaped radio signal, in particular spectral lines of equal order and known symmetry position.

Abstract
A radio transmitter is provided at least comprising a signal generator for generating a continuous signal and an antenna for outputting a transmission signal, wherein at least one output of the signal generator is connected with at least one input of the antenna. Herein, the signal generator is connected with the antenna via an interrupt unit connected between the two for selectively interrupting and maintaining a signal connection between the signal generator and the antenna.
