Benefits or advantages of FMCW Radar ➨It uses low power for transmission . This can be supplied by many solid state devices such as magnetron, BWO, reflex klystron etc. ➨The super-heterodyne based architecture delivers good sensitivity and stability. ➨It offers higher bandwidth compare to CW radar.
Read moreWhat is the principle of FMCW radar?
The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave). The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep) . The signal is emitted, reflected from the measuring surface and received with a time delay, t.
Read moreWhat’s the difference between FMCW and CW radars?
If CW Doppler Radar uses the Frequency Modulation, then that Radar is called FMCW Doppler Radar or simply, FMCW Radar . It is also called Continuous Wave Frequency Modulated Radar or CWFM Radar. It measures not only the speed of the target but also the distance of the target from the Radar.
Read moreWhat is FMCW used for?
Radar systems measure the time of flight from when a transmitted signal leaves the radar, hits a reflecting target and returns to the radar .

Disadvantages:
Read moreWhat is continuous wave radar used for?
The Radar, which operates with continuous signal (wave) for detecting non-stationary targets , is called Continuous Wave Radar or simply CW Radar. This Radar requires two Antennas. Among which, one Antenna is used for transmitting the signal and the other Antenna is used for receiving the signal.
Read moreWhat is the principle of CW radar?
Principle of Operation. As opposed to pulsed radar systems, continuous wave (CW) radar systems emit electromagnetic radiation at all times . Conventional CW radar cannot measure range because there is no basis for the measurement of the time delay.
