It is a comparison between two common ways radar systems transmit energy and extract target information.</p> <p>The short version is:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Pulse radar</strong> sends short bursts of energy and listens for the echo in between bursts.</li> <li><strong>FMCW radar</strong> usually transmits continuously while changing frequency over time, then compares the transmitted and received signals.</li> </ul> <p>Both are real radar. Both can measure targets. But they are not optimized for the same jobs in the same way.</p> https://www.counteruavradar.com/knowledge-base/fmcw-vs-pulse-radar-advantages-and-limitations-explained/ Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:08:00 +0800 https://www.counteruavradar.com/knowledge-base/fmcw-vs-pulse-radar-advantages-and-limitations-explained/ <p>FMCW and pulse radar are often introduced as two different ways to build radar. That is correct, but it is not enough for system planning. The important question is how the transmit method changes the rest of the sensing chain, from hardware complexity and power profile to range behavior and mission fit.</p> <p>The better comparison is therefore not only how they work, but what each architecture makes easier or harder.</p>
