Abstract

Apparatus for linearizing the sweep frequency output of an FMCW radar employing a voltage controlled oscillator includes means for comparing a series of reference voltages sequentially with the instantaeous oscillator drive voltge, accumulating the individual resultant error voltages throughout successive sweep cycles, sequentially converting the individual accumulated voltages to exponential form and feeding the exponential voltages back into the drive circuit for the VCO.
