What Does FMCW Stand For?

FMCW stands for Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave

FMCW, or Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave, is a radar technology that transmits a continuous wave signal whose frequency is varied over time. This modulation allows for the measurement of distance and speed by analyzing the frequency shift of the returned signal. FMCW radar is commonly used in various applications, including automotive radar systems for adaptive cruise control, industrial sensing, and environmental monitoring, due to its ability to provide precise range and velocity data.
