  • FM-CW radar for range and relative speed determination
    Patent number: 4079377
    Abstract: An FM-CW vehicular distance and relative speed measuring device which compares instantaneous reflection signal frequency to the instantaneous FM-CW transmitted frequency to derive distance (range) and speed information. Searching means including a mixer, frequency programmer, and logic circuits evaluates a plurality of fractional range increments for signal presence and Doppler spectrum evaluation to determine relative velocity with sense. The FM-CW waveform is a sawtooth and means are included for blanking the sawtooth flyback.
