Advantages
[edit]Are the advantages making a point or talking in the subject. Also are the really advantages of FMCW gains over Pulse radar or are they gains of some pulsed maritime implementations over the some new FMCW gains. Surly the point is that the FMCW ramp can be compressed providing extra signal to noise gains such that you don’t need the extra power that pulse radar using a no FM modulation would. This combined with the fact that it is coherent means that Fourier interrogated can be used rather then azimuth integrated providing superior signal to noise and a Doppler measurement. However there are also disadvantaged that are not provided. Sounds like a sales pitch to me to sell nower radar models
- Agreed. Sounds like a sales-engineer wrote it up. samadam (talk) 05:42, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
What about light-based FMCW? As according to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Radar_(disambiguation) RADAR is RAdio Detection And Ranging, and LIDAR (light based systems) can also use FMCW... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.74.237.172 (talk) 11:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
