All radars have the same practical purpose, but just because they do doesn't make them intechangeable. It's surprising that you'd still try to spin your way out of this one, but I guess as a mod you are free to do as you wish. Feel free to everlook the differences which make them 2 similar but distinct waveforms.
Those distinctions don't make one "lower power" than the other. In fact, those distinctions don't lower the peak power for either. There might even be a better case for Interrupted CW because the interruptions are blanks that don't have waves at all, while FMCW puts higher frequencies in segments which raises the energy for such. And by the way, even under the FMCW classification, there are different wave forms, e.g. triangular, sawtooth, etc,.
I'm disappointed in you. If you are unable to interpret clearly what I say because you are not well versed enough, that is not my fault. Please don't accuse me of saying things I didn't, and ridiculing me based on that. It's offensive.
You don't have the right, or position, or stature to claim you are "disappointed" with me.
It's quite hard to fathom that you'd actually acknowlege FMCW decreases peak power but deny that it's a LPI technique, despite many texts on LPI radars listing it as one. Perhaps what's stopping you from admiting it is because you have claimed outright earlier that FMCW is not a LPI technique?
Did I ever acknowledge that FMCW decreases peak power? I don't see it in the text and in the form.
What I see in most texts is that they list FMCW not as an LPI, but as way of getting range with CWI.
It only means that FMCW cannot generate the same kind of peak power as pulsed systems do, which means it won't be able to emit in range or the power to detect smaller objects. To put it simply, that's the general disadvantage of CW radars, and this lack of power is what caused pulsed radars to replace them in the first place.
"FMCW systems are often used for radar altimeters, or in radar proximity fuzes for warheads. These systems do not have a minimum range like a pulsed system. However, they are not suitable for long range detection, because the continuous power level they transmit at must be considerably lower than the peak power of a pulsed system. You may recall that the peak and average power in a pulse system were related by the duty cycle,"
Spin it whatever you want. Your interpretation is faulty. For a radar to do its job, it requires it needs to reflect the target with some power.
