Systems and methods for frequency-modulation continuous-wave and pulse-compression transmission operation

A system comprising:

• a hybrid coupler configured to receive a signal produced by a synthesizer and couple the received signal to two output ports, the hybrid coupler comprising the two output ports;
• a pulse transmitter attached to a first one of the two output ports of the hybrid coupler, the pulse transmitter configured to receive a pulse transmit-activate signal from a controller, receive an input signal from a first one of the two output ports of the hybrid coupler and amplify the received input signal if the pulse transmit-activate signal has been received, wherein amplifying is based on a predefined desired pulse output transmission setting;
• a frequency-modulation continuous-wave (FMCW) transmitter attached to a second one of the two output ports of the hybrid coupler, the FMCW transmitter configured to receive an FMCW transmit-activate signal from the controller, receive an input signal from the other output port of the hybrid coupler;
• and amplify the received input signal based on a predefined desired FMCW output transmission setting if the FMCW transmit-activate signal has been received;
• an isolator attached to the pulse transmitter;
• and
• a directional coupler comprising:
• a first input port attached to the isolator;
• a second input port attached to the FMCW transmitter
• an output port connected to a lowpass filter (LPF),
• wherein the directional coupler is configured to directing signals received from either the pulse transmitter via the isolator or the FMCW transmitter to the lowpass filter (LPF),
• wherein the isolator is configured to direct signals received from to the directional coupler to a load.
