Default Could this device be built?

OK, now you have some switched power, what generates the RF?

Switched power *is* RF!

Ummm, no.

Switched power is just switched power.

There has to be a microwave RF generator somewhere.

Google "uwb transmitter".

Good grief.

A phased array requires precise phase (or frequency) control of the
emitters to do the beam forming and aiming.

How does one do that with a "uwb transmitter"?


Timing.


Point totally missed.

Which phase (or frequency) of an Ultra Wide Band transmitter do you use?

You can't use all of them.


Do you have a PhD in what can't be done?


No, but I have enough years of experience with RF in general and radar
in particular to know building a phased array requires precise phase
(or frequency) control and you can't do that with an ultra wideband
device, which has a bandwidth of 500 Mhz.

Such a device may make a great wireless LAN at ranges of tens of yards,
but is not the device of choice for building a phased array anything.
