RECOMMENDED ISM MODULATIONS TO MEASURE DISTANCE OF STATIONARY OBJECTS:</u
USE NEXT DEFAULT VALUES WHEN NOT SPECIFIED: -F 3C0000 -s 50 -i 200
RANGE 1 to 4 meters: ./radar -S 30 -B 1740 -E 2025
RANGE 2 to 8 meters: ./radar -S 50 -B 980 -E 1440
RANGE 4 to 15 meters: ./radar -S 90 -B 870 -E 1730
RANGE 5 to 17 meters: ./radar -S A0 -B 980 -E 1920
RANGE 8 to 30 meters: ./radar -S FF -B 530 -E 1530
RANGE 12 to 40 meters: ./radar -S FF -B 540 -E 2040 -s 28 -i 400
You have to choice a modulation in order the expected IF signal fits between 5 and 18 KHz
