frequency-modulated, continuous-wave (FM–CW) radar

A radar that transmits a waveform that is continuously and regularly modulated in frequency, typically using a linear sweep or sawtooth wave for the frequency modulation. In such a radar the range to a target is determined by the frequency of the signal it returns. Extremely high range resolution can be achieved by measuring the returned signal in narrow frequency bands.
