What is Radar?Radio Detection And Ranging

Components

• Transmitter

• Duplexer• Receiver

Principle of operation

Radar observables:• Target range• Target angles (azimuth)• Target size• Target speed (Doppler)• Target features (imaging)

Antenna

TransmittedPulse

Section

Propagation

ReflectedPulse

(“echo”)

The power Pr returning to the receiving antenna is given by the equation:

Radar equation

Pt = transmitter power

Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna

Ar = area of the receiving antenna

σ = scattering coefficient of the target

F = pattern propagation factor

Rt = distance from transmitter to target Rr = distance from the target to the

receiver.

Conclusion

Radar is a way to detect and study far off objects

Basically its a radio echo
