K-LC6 RADAR TRANSCEIVER

Datasheet

FM Characteristics

Carrier frequency can be modulated by means of a voltage applied to the VCO input.

This feature can be used for ranging applications using FMCW ( see also Fig. 4) or FSK

techniques.

FMCW needs good linearity in the frequency ramp. RFbeam provides a downloadable tool

"VCO-Lin" that allows calculating the non-linearity using 3 known frequency versus VCO

voltage points.
