The ability to view the details of the surface of the earth from satellites has come a long way, thanks to rapid advancements in technology over the last few decades. Everyone with a smartphone now can “see” an image of their neighborhood through Google Maps. But applications of fetching images of earth surfaces go way …
Optical Imagery Vs Radar Sensing – Is One Better? Read More »
These are devices that are bought to detect radio waves. As a matter of fact, radar detectors detect radio waves in a range of wavelengths X, K, Ka, and Ku. Today, these devices have seen many uses. In some cases, they are used to inform motorists about speed traps and radar guns. In some other …
Ships rely on S-band and X-band frequency radar system for navigation and detection of incoming ships or land obstacles to avoid a collision. The radars use a rotating antenna to discover the surrounding area of the ship. It can detect targets and display the information on the screen. Radar is an important component of every …
Radar technology has been around for the longest time now. It is applicable in a variety of industries and its usage spans a number of applications. One such application is in the weather. A weather radar is mostly used in the collection of data regarding the weather and its components. In this paper, we look …
LiDAR, Radar and Sonar are the modern remote sensing techniques used by various professionals to collect and analyze data. They use different mediums to transmit various types of signals to and from the objects and then analyze the time taken to measure the distance between the transmitter and the objects. Below are some of the …
LiDAR and Radar are the latest remote sensing technologies that have replaced the traditional data collection methods such as photogrammetry and surveying. They are relatively easy to use and offer faster and more accurate services as compared to the traditional methods. But of the two methods, LiDAR has some advantages over Radar owing to the …
Solid state radar and magnetron are two radar techniques that work in competition with each other. However, solid state radar is known to be of a higher quality and has a higher operational preference as compared to Magnetron radar. Below are some of the differences between the two. Solid state radar 1. Low Maintenance: Solid …

A little competition between two rival entities always spices things up. This is true even in the level measurement world where two most commonly used methods, the Ultrasonic level measurement and the Radar level measurement compete for supremacy. The ultrasonic technique uses sound-based measurements while the radar technique use high frequency electromagnetic waves. Below are …

Non-contact radar is radar that is based on microwave technology that sends the microwave signals through the air and not a medium. On the other hand, Guided Wave Radar instruments uses wave guide “probes” to guide radio waves into a process fluid. Both of these techniques are used to measure the surface level of fluids …
