  2. Cosecant squared antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosecant_squared_antenna

    An object at height h above the ground and slant range R forms an angle α that can be calculated through sin α = h / R.By re-arrangement, R = h / sin α, or R = h csc α. The radar equation states that the signal received from an object, P e, varies inversely with the 4th power of range and directly as the square of the antenna gain, G, such that P e ~ G 2 / R 4.

  3. 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.

  4. Tethered Aerostat Radar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_Aerostat_Radar_System

    The mooring systems contain a large winch with 25,000 feet (7,600 m) of tether cable. Operational availability is generally limited only by the weather (60 percent standard) and routine maintenance downtime. The aerostats are stable in winds below 65 knots (120 km/h). Aerostat and equipment availability averages more than 98 percent system-wide.

  5. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    In order to build up a discernible echo, most radar systems emit pulses continuously and the repetition rate of these pulses is determined by the role of the system. An echo from a target will therefore be 'painted' on the display or integrated within the signal processor every time a new pulse is transmitted, reinforcing the return and making ...

  6. Synthetic-aperture radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_radar

    The bandwidth of a chirped system can be as narrow or as wide as the designers desire. Pulse-based UWB systems, being the more common method associated with the term "UWB radar", are described here. A pulse-based radar system transmits very short pulses of electromagnetic energy, typically only a few waves or less.

  7. Airport surveillance radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_surveillance_radar

    The system is designed to accommodate air traffic growth and the introduction of new automation functions which will improve the safety and efficiency of the US National Airspace System (NAS). [ 5 ] Airport Surveillance Radar is beginning to be supplemented by ADS-B Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast in the US and other parts of the world.

  8. HQ-17 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HQ-17

    The HQ-17 features various improvements over the Tor-M1 system. The HQ-17 incorporates an indigenous all-terrain tracked launch vehicle, a new identification friend or foe (IFF) antenna on top of the search radar, an electronically scanned array radar for better performance against jamming, and the ability to datalink with other Chinese systems.

  9. Small engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_engine

    Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine in a portable generator. A small engine is the general term for a wide range of small-displacement, low-powered internal combustion engines used to power lawn mowers, generators, concrete mixers and many other machines that require independent power sources.
