What are limits of CW radar?

Unmodulated continuous wave radar cannot measure distance . Signal amplitude provides the only way to determine which object corresponds with which speed measurement when there is more than one moving object near the receiver, but amplitude information is not useful without range measurement to evaluate target size.
