Functional principle
An FMCW radar is a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave radar. FMCW is the English abbreviation for Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave. Unmodulated continuous wave radars have the disadvantage that they cannot measure distances due to the lack of a time reference. Such a time reference for measuring the distance of stationary objects can be generated by means of frequency modulation. Using this method, a signal is emitted which continually changes frequency. A periodic frequency that increases and decreases linearly is used to limit the frequency range and to simplify the signal evaluation. The factor for the rate of change df/dt remains constant. If an echo signal is received, then this has a runtime delay as with the pulse radar, and thus a different frequency that is proportional to the distance. As a result, unlike with unmodulated Continuous Wave (CW) radars, both stationary and moving objects can be detected.
