Frequency modulated continuous wave radars are especially useful for short range distance measurement and remote probing of materials (e.g. level sensors, ground-penetrating radar, proximity detectors, through-wall probing, etc.).   The main system blocks consist of a chirp generator (usually a synthesized oscillator), amplifiers, mixers, antenna.  When coupled with sophisticated DSP techniques, advanced functions like target recognition, clutter reduction and Doppler extraction can be readily implemented. 

​

We have developed FMCW radars for various applications from S-band to Ka-band, some directly integrated with antenna arrays.  Wideband systems in C and X band provide centimeter range resolution.  Both monostatic and bistatic are possible, depending on the application.  Send us your requirements.
