Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling a radar oscillator for use in the traffic field, in particular for a car radar, for generating a linear frequency sweep. A phase-locked linearization loop generates a linear frequency sweep controlling a phase-locked oscillator loop, which has a considerably broader bandwidth than the linearization loop.
