CW radar sets transmit a high-frequency signal continuously. The echo signal is received and processed permanently. One has to resolve two problems with this principle:
prevent a direct connection of the transmitted energy into the receiver (feedback connection),
assign the received echoes to a time system to be able to do run time measurements.
A direct connection of the transmitted energy into the receiver can be prevented by:
spatial separation of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna, e.g. the aim is illuminated by a strong transmitter and the receiver is located in the missile flying direction towards the aim;
frequency dependent separation by the Doppler-frequency during the measurement of speeds.
A run time measurement isn't necessary for speed gauges, the actual range of the delinquent car doesn't have a consequence. If you need range information, then the time measurement can be realized by a frequency modulation or phase keying of the transmitted power.
A CW-radar transmitting a unmodulated power can measure the speed only by using the Doppler- effect. It cannot measure a range and it cannot differ between two reflecting objects.
Radar uses radio waves, which are a type of electromagnetic energy wave, to detect the presence, direction, distance, and speed of objects.
A continuous wave or continuous waveform(CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequencywave train:a series of waves travelling in the same direction and spaced at regular intervals ...
Yes, all emitters transmit either a continuous wave or a pulsed waveform. Continuous wave emitters transmit a continuous stream of electromagnetic waves, while pulsed waveform emitters transmit short bursts of electromagnetic waves with periods of rest in between.
An oscilloscope is a device that displays the continuous plot of a wave. It is commonly used in electronics and telecommunications for visualizing signals and waveforms.
Continuous wave is a scientific model because it simplifies complex phenomena into a continuous oscillation of energy. It provides a framework to understand various wave properties such as frequency, amplitude, and wavelength in a consistent manner. This model helps in the analysis and prediction of wave behavior across different scientific disciplines.
CW in reference to radar usually means Continuous Wave. (CW Radar = Continuous Wave Radar) I don't think that it is usually referred to in a case sensitive way. You will need to explain the context better. Continuous Wave Radar references a radar system in which the transmitter is never turned off. The target illuminating, radio frequency emitter power is non-stop and unbroken. Isolation between the transmitter and receiver has to be specially considered during design.
radars are of two types pulsed and continuous wave radar. pulsed radar has its carrier pulse modulated used for detecting stationary objects continuous radar uses direct sine wave for transmitting and is used for moving targets there are types such as weather, and aircraft.

A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
Microwaves.
Radar sends out a radio wave and measures the reflected radio wave using it to calculate a target's speed, shape, material the object is made of, and direction of movement.
Radar stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. So ... radio.

No. As you might guess from the name, radar uses radio waves. Radio waves, in turn, are a type of electromagnetic wave - in other words, in principle similar to light waves.

In communications, a continuous frequency voltage or electromagnetic wave capable of being modulated or impressed with a second signal which carries the information to is transmitted.
