How Does Radar Work?
1 Answers
Radar Principle: After the radar equipment emits an electromagnetic wave signal, if a target object encounters the radar signal, it will reflect an echo. The radar receiver then captures this echo signal, which contains information about the target's distance, direction, and speed. The radar antenna receives the reflected wave and sends it to the receiving equipment for processing to extract certain information about the object. Additionally, the radar's emitted beam can measure the target's angle. Related Information: Radar, derived from the English acronym 'radio-detection-and-ranging,' means 'radio detection and ranging,' i.e., using radio methods to detect targets and determine their spatial positions. Hence, radar is also referred to as 'radio location.' Radar is an electronic device that detects targets using electromagnetic waves.
