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.

What is the principle of FM 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.
