Within minutes we can replace the 8 GHz Pulse unit on top of the radar box with a a 24 GHz FMCW radar. We can analyze the FMCW with FreeScopes. Here is how it works.

The magic component to be able to make the raw data interpretable is the range-FFT, or one-dimensional FFT. It converts the signal from its frequency domain into the time domain.

The FMCW module can be purchased as an add-on to the NextGen 8 GHz Pulse radar. It is mounted exactly like the [PSR add-on](https://www.skyradar.com/blog/modular-24-ghz-psr-extension-to-the-8-ghz-nextgen-pulse-module). In the Video, we used components from FreeScopes Basic I.
