Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method for detecting a distance between a radar system and a reflecting surface. The method comprises the steps of transmitting a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar signal from the radar system and receiving a reflected FMCW radar signal being the transmitted signal that has been reflected by the reflecting surface. Further, the method comprises the steps of providing a beat signal having a frequency that is equal to the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and the received signal and determining harmonics of the beat signal. The method also comprises the step of using phase shift information of at least one of said harmonics for determining a distance between the radar system and the reflecting surface.
