A radar system (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses radio waves to detect, track, and identify objects from a distance. It finds applications in military, aviation, weather monitoring, automotive, and maritime sectors.
How Radar Works – Basic Process
- The radar emits short bursts of radio waves.
- These waves travel through the air at the speed of light.
- When they strike an object, they reflect back toward the radar.
- The radar receiver captures the returned signals.
By analyzing the time delay and frequency changes, the system calculates:
Distance to the object (from time delay)
Speed of the object (via the Doppler effect)
Angle or direction (based on antenna orientation)
