2. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

   A pulse-Doppler radar is a radar system that determines the range to a target using pulse-timing techniques, and uses the Doppler effect of the returned signal to determine the target object's velocity. It combines the features of pulse radars and continuous-wave radars, which were formerly separate due to the complexity of the electronics .

3. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

   Doppler effect. The emitted signal toward the car is reflected back with a variation of frequency that depends on the speed away/toward the radar (160 km/h). This is only a component of the real speed (170 km/h). The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference ...

4. Weather radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

   Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

5. Synthetic-aperture radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_radar

   A synthetic-aperture radar is an imaging radar mounted on a moving platform. [10] Electromagnetic waves are transmitted sequentially, the echoes are collected and the system electronics digitizes and stores the data for subsequent processing. As transmission and reception occur at different times, they map to different small positions.

6. NEXRAD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXRAD

   NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...

7. Continuous-wave radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-wave_radar

   Continuous-wave radar ( CW radar) is a type of radar system where a known stable frequency continuous wave radio energy is transmitted and then received from any reflecting objects. [1] Individual objects can be detected using the Doppler effect, which causes the received signal to have a different frequency from the transmitted signal ...

8. Radar chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

   A radar chart showing the differences in performance metrics of a sedan, sports car, and pickup truck. Another application of radar charts is the control of quality improvement to display the performance metrics various objects including computer programs, computers, phones, vehicles, and more. Computer programmer often use analytics to test ...

9. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

   The pulse width ( ) (or pulse duration) of the transmitted signal is the time, typically in microseconds, each pulse lasts. If the pulse is not a perfect square wave, the time is typically measured between the 50% power levels of the rising and falling edges of the pulse. The pulse width must be long enough to ensure that the radar emits ...
