The paper presents a simple method for estimating nonlinear frequency distortions of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals used in FMCW radars. This method, derived from the polynomial model of the nonlinear FM signal phase, is based on finding the maximum of two-dimensional chirp-like transform of the IF video signal. The IF signal is obtained by mixing transmitted FM signal with its delayed copy. Using suggested transform we show that the presented method is able to detect and classify signal distortions.
