Typical values for commercially available radar sensors for distance measurements and ranging taken from representative product manuals (see the citations).
| Principle | Frequency | Typical Measurement Range | Precision | Measurement Value Update Rate | Citation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulse | 25 GHz | 0.21 m to 13 m | 10 mm (1) | 0.5 Hz | [83] |
| FMCW | 24 GHz to 26 GHz | 0.2 m to 80 m | mm | 10 Hz (2) | [84] |
| six-port | 24 GHz | 0.01 m to 2.0 m (3) | µm | 20 Hz (4) | [85] |
(1) No precision stated in the manual; the given value is the maximum measurement error; (2) No measurement value update rate stated; frequency results from the serial interface; (3) Only evaluated up to 2 m due to distance limitations in laboratory; (4) Limited by the utilized serial data interface.
