    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radar

    Passive radar. Passive radar (also referred to as parasitic radar, passive coherent location, passive surveillance, and passive covert radar) is a class of radar systems that detect and track objects by processing reflections from non-cooperative sources of illumination in the environment, such as commercial broadcast and communications signals.

  3. Phased array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array

    A passive phased array or passive electronically scanned array (PESA) is a phased array in which the antenna elements are connected to a single transmitter and/or receiver, as shown in the first animation at top. PESAs are the most common type of phased array. Generally speaking, a PESA uses one receiver/exciter for the entire array.

    Radar range and wavelength can be adapted for different surveys of bird and insect migration and daily habits. They can have other uses too in the biological field. "MERLIN Avian Radar System for Bird Activity Monitoring and Mortality Risk Mitigation" (PDF). Insect radar. Surveillance radar (mostly X and S band, i.e. primary ATC Radars)

    The velocity of the radio waves is shown slowed down enormously. A passive electronically scanned array (PESA), also known as passive phased array, is an antenna in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions (that is, a phased array antenna), in which all the antenna elements are connected to a ...

    This chip is commonly found in smartphones and other NFC devices. Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enables communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) or less. [ 1 ] NFC offers a low-speed connection through a simple setup that can be used for the bootstrapping of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_engineering

    Radar engineering. Radar engineering is the design of technical aspects pertaining to the components of a radar and their ability to detect the return energy from moving scatterers — determining an object's position or obstruction in the environment. [1][2][3] This includes field of view in terms of solid angle and maximum unambiguous range ...

  8. Bistatic radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bistatic_radar

    Bistatic radar is a radar system comprising a transmitter and receiver that are separated by a distance comparable to the expected target distance. Conversely, a conventional radar in which the transmitter and receiver are co-located is called a monostatic radar. [1] A system containing multiple spatially diverse monostatic or bistatic radar ...

    The Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft with its nose fairing removed, revealing its Euroradar CAPTOR AESA radar antenna. An active electronically scanned array (AESA) is a type of phased array antenna, which is a computer-controlled antenna array in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions without moving the antenna.
