  2. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    A plane flying past a radar station: the plane's velocity vector (red) is the sum of the radial velocity (green) and the tangential velocity (blue). The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.

  3. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    This is an issue only with a particular type of system; the pulse-Doppler radar, which uses the Doppler effect to resolve velocity from the apparent change in frequency caused by targets that have net radial velocities compared to the radar device. Examination of the spectrum generated by a pulsed transmitter, shown above, reveals that each of ...

  4. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

  5. Frequency ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_ambiguity_resolution

    Radial velocity aliasing occurs when reflections arrive from reflectors moving fast enough for the Doppler frequency to exceed the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). Frequency ambiguity resolution is required to obtain the true radial velocity when the measurements is made using a system where the following inequality is true.

  6. Radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar

    Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. It is a radiodetermination method [1] used to detect and track aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, map weather formations, and terrain.

  7. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    Pulse-Doppler radar uses the following signal processing criteria to exclude unwanted signals from slow-moving objects. This is also known as clutter rejection. [5] Rejection velocity is usually set just above the prevailing wind speed (10 to 100 mph or 20 to 160 km/h). The velocity threshold is much lower for weather radar.

  8. Ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_resolution

    The unambiguous zone is in the lower left corner. All of the other blocks have ambiguous range or ambiguous radial velocity. Pulse Doppler radar relies on medium pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from about 3 kHz to 30 kHz. Each transmit pulse is separated by between 5 km and 50 km of distance.

  9. Radar scalloping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_scalloping

    Scalloping occurs when the radial velocity of the reflector induces an odd integer multiple of a 360 degree phase shift between two or more transmit pulses. Radar scalloping for MTI radar begins to become a concern when the radial velocity is greater than the following value.
