Abstract :
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars are used in many range measurement applications. The effects of phase errors in radar antenna, circuit dispersion and of frequency modulation nonlinearity on FMCW radar resolution have been analyzed using computer simulation and experiments with a radar prototype in the 10 GHz band.
