How Radar Works
Is CW used for radar applications? (I am only familiar with pulsed radar sets).

AFAIK not much in practice because it can only detect speed and has no real way of detecting distance. Most radar applications want to detect distance, usually enhanced to position, and speed as well. You can't really do that with CW.

FMCW (mentioned by 'itcrowd) can determine distance.
