Information on Continuous Wave Radar (CW Radar)

Continuous wave radar (CW radar) continually transmits energy in the direction of the target and receives back reflection of the continuous wave. A continuous wave radar can provide velocity information by comparing the differences in the transmitted and received waves and making use of the Doppler effect.
