Abstract
This paper presents an innovative accurate ranging system based on FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) Radar. Thanks to a combination of nontrivial solutions a centimetre precision is guaranteed even in tough environments, such as warehouses packed with metallic objects or extremely dusty sites, where conventional RF, laser, ultrasonic or video technology may present severe limitations. The proposed solution is currently being applied in Automatic Guided Vehicle for warehouses. The architecture of the system and the obtained results are presented in details.
