Introduction
FMCW started to be known in early 80’s.Interesting because of low radiated power.Initially limited interest from the radar/ew communityFollowed by optimistic claims of very long detection ranges at very low (milliwatt) power levelSanity sets in Skolnik->Most FMCW radar fail to achieve performance within 20 predicted performanceSince then much better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of FMCW radar

Similarities between FMCW and Pulsed Radar
TheoreticallyFMCW and pulsed radar produce identical resultsExcept for a quadratic phase term which is known and predictable (Residual Phase)Requires the same power budgetRequires similar detection strategiesAdhere to the same physical laws!

Differences
Practical differences Receiver is on while transmittingPhysical radar parameters differ significantly to accommodate differences in implementation strategiesFMCW approach large duty cyclesMuch slower sweep rates than pulse-compressionRange-Doppler coupling is a bigger problem Potentially much reduced hardwareOften require separate transmit and receive antennas

What are the implications
Transmit/Receive leakageLimits the maximum available powerCan be controlled by proper design Can be cancelled by active cancellers
Wideband transmitter noiseAmplitude noise relatively under control by proper design.Phase noise can be a major problem.
