Radar (acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging) uses radio waves to detect objects in the environment. It allows determining the distance (known as range), angular position (bearing), and velocity.

Emerging radar and signal processing technology is enabling Navy surface ships to achieve a ground-breaking measure of radar-detection range and precisionall --all while enabling ship defense ...

First, some radar basics. The term is actually an acronym for “radio detection and ranging,” and it was originally developed before and during World War II to detect incoming ships and aircraft.

Phased array radar In a previous post the basics of radar were described where a typical radar system is made up of a large parabolic antenna that rotates.

This paper presents the foundations of conventional strip-mode synthetic aperture radar (SAR) from a mathematical point of view. In particular, the paper shows how a simple antenna model can be used ...
