Radar technology or RAdio Detection And Ranging, has come a long way since its inception in the early 20th century. Today, radar is an essential tool for weather prediction, air traffic control, and even self-driving cars. But how does radar work? Radar works by sending out electromagnetic energy in the form of radio waves toward …
What is ARPA? ARPA is the abbreviated term for Automatic Radar Plotting Aids. This system was developed by Rokycany Research Center in Czechoslovakia to replace manual radar plotting. The ARPA consists of computer workstations, called operator terminals which are located next to each radar screen for each sector. The data about ownship are entered …

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 systems 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. The main difference between these technologies is they use different mediums to send signals to and from the objects and then analyze the time taken to measure the distance between the transmitter and the objects. Radar …
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-state radar does …
