It is shown that an FM‐CW radar can be used as a Doppler radar to measure winds. A description of the processing used to measure Doppler shifts is included. An analysis of scattering by refractive‐index fluctuations shows that, under certain conditions, a Doppler FM‐CW radar should be able to measure winds continuously in the boundary layer. Experimental results comparing horizontal winds measured by a tethered balloon and the FM‐CW radar show very good agreement.
