Difference between ADC dynamic range and voltage resolution?
Say I have a 10-bit SAR ADC with a $5 \ \text{V}$ reference. I calculate its resolution to be
$$\Delta V_\text{lsb} = \frac{5 \ \text{V}}{2^{10}} = 4.88 \ \text{mV} \approx 5 \ \text{mV}. $$
So for a $...

How to calculate the range bin size in FMCW radar?
In FMCW, we have range resolution calculated as delta_d = c/(2B), and dmax = fs * c/(2*S) where S is the slope.
my understanding is numRangeBins = dmax / delta_d. However, in the post (range-doppler ...
