Vortex electromagnetic waves, which carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), can provide more information of the target in radar imaging and target detection. Pulsed radar is often used in current OAM radar design. However, compared with the pulsed radar, the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is small in size, light in weight, and low in power consumption, which can be applied into many practical scenarios. Therefore, this paper investigates into the OAM radar based on the FMCW system. It can be found that, apart from the inherent characteristics of small blind area and high measurement accuracy in FMCW system, the OAM-FMCW radar also owns an additional degree of freedom, which is independent of the frequency, finally leading to the result that the FMCW radar will not be affected by the range and velocity of the target when performing azimuth detection. Simulation results are given to validate the corresponding analysis of the proposed system.
