Introduction
Radar is an acronym for Radio
Detection And Ranging.
The first use of radar was for military purposes: to locate air,
ground and sea targets.
In aviation, aircraft are equipped with radar devices that warn
of obstacles in or approaching their path and give accurate
altitude readings.
Police forces use radar guns to monitor vehicle speeds on the
roads.
Application
Marine radars are used to measure the bearing and distance of
ships to prevent collision with other ships, to navigate, and to
fix their position at sea when within range of shore or other
fixed references such as islands, buoys, and lightships.
Transmitter
The radar transmitter produces the short duration high-power rf
pulses of energy that are into space by the antenna.
Duplexer
The duplexer alternately switches the antenna between the
transmitter and receiver so that only one antenna need be used.
Receiver
The receivers amplify and demodulate the received RF-signals.
Principal of Radar
Radar Antenna
The Antenna transfers the transmitter energy to signals in space
with the required distribution and efficiency. This process is
applied in an identical way on reception.
Indicator
The indicator should present to the observer a continuous,
easily understandable, graphic picture of the relative position of
radar targets.
