摘要

The paper presents a Continuous-Wave(CW)-Radar sensor for high accuracy distance measurements in industrial applications. The usage of radar sensors in industrial scenarios has the advantage of a robust functionality in wet or dusty environments where optical systems reach their limits. This publication shows that accuracies of a few micro-meters are possible with millimeter-wave systems. In addition to distance measurement results the paper describes the sensor concept, the experimental set-up with the measurement process and possibilities to increase the accuracy even further.
