What is beat frequency in FMCW radar?
Maximum Beat Frequency in FMCW Radar System
The waveform sweeps a 300 MHz band in 1 ms. Assume that the waveform can detect a stationary target as far as 18 km.
How does FMCW radar measure range?
FMCW radar systems measure the frequency difference (Δf, due to run time) between the transmitted and received echo signal for calculating the distance, and it also measures the Doppler frequency (due to the Doppler effect) for calculating the speed of the object.
What is FMCW radar technology?
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar is a form of radar where the frequency of the transmitted signal is continuously varied at a known rate over a defined time period. The reflected frequency signal is received by the radar and compared.
