The working principle and application of radar

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-04

Radar, the invisible guardian, hides the mysteries of his work. Its operating mechanism is like that of migratory birds in nature, relying on the navigation of electromagnetic waves to explore the sky.

When the transmitter, the heart of the radar, begins to beat, it releases electromagnetic waves, like the first rays of sunlight in the morning light, through the window of the antenna, and sprinkles into the vast world. These electromagnetic waves, like curious explorers, will return the same way no matter what obstacles they encounter.

And when these electromagnetic waves meet the target in space, they are like mirror reflections, producing echoes. These echoes are like wanderers returning home and being captured by the other eye of the radar - the receiver. After precise processing, these echoes become the information of the target, like a delicate picture, depicting the distance, bearing, speed and other key information of the target.

The craftsmanship of radar is far more sophisticated than we can imagine. It can not only be as sharp as an eagle falcon in the military field, but also detect the traces of enemy aircraft; It can also provide accurate data for meteorological detection and air traffic control in civilian fields, such as spring breeze and rain.

In the future, radar technology will continue to break through itself in terms of resolution, anti-jamming ability and intelligence. It will continue to guard our safety with higher precision, stronger anti-interference ability, and more intelligent operation.

In the radar family, pulse radar, continuous wave radar, phased array radar, etc. have their own characteristics, and they show their strengths and jointly build a glorious chapter of radar.
