Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Radar

Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar is a sensing technology that continuously emits a radio signal whose frequency gradually changes over time (sweeps). When this signal hits an object, it reflects back with a slight delay. By analyzing the difference in frequency between the sent and received signals, the radar determines the distance to the object. FMCW radar provides precise measurements of how far and how fast objects are moving, making it ideal for applications like automotive collision avoidance, drones, and industrial sensing. Its continuous operation allows for high-resolution, real-time detection of nearby objects.
