RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging. It uses radio waves to detect the presence, direction, range, and speed of objects. The history of radar began in the late 19th century with experiments showing that radio waves could be reflected. Modern radar was first developed in the 1930s and was critical for air defense during World War II. Radar works by emitting radio waves that bounce off objects and return to a receiver, allowing the detection and tracking of aircraft, ships, vehicles and weather formations. It has many applications including air traffic control, weather monitoring, and military targeting.

Radio Detection and Ranging
Used for detecting presence of Air craft, ships etc… History of RADAR
1886 : German physicist HEINRICH HERTZ showed that radiowaves could be
reflected from solid object.
1895 : ALEXANDER POPOR A Russian physicist developed an apparatus using
COHERER TUBE for detecting distant lightning strikes.
1935 : Soviet military engineer P K OSHCHEPKOV in collaboration with
LENINGRAD ELECTROPHYSICAL INSTITUTE, produced an experimental apparatus RAPID capable of detecting an Aircraft with in 3KM of a receiver. Types of RADAR (Classification) More types of RADAR 1. Bi static radar 2. Continuous wave radar 3. Doppler radar 4. Mono pulse radar 5. Passive radar 6. Instrumentation radar 7. Weather radars 8. Mapping radar 9. Navigational radars General Construction of RADAR How RADAR works ? How RADAR works ? 1.Magnetron generates high-frequency radio waves. 2.Duplexer switches magnetron through to antenna.
3.Antenna acts as transmitter, sending narrow beam of radio
waves through the air. 4.Radio waves hit enemy airplane and reflect back. How RADAR works ? 5. Antenna picks up reflected waves during a break between transmissions. 6. Duplexer switches antenna through to receiver unit. 7. Computer in receiver unit processes reflected waves and draws them on a TV screen.
8.Enemy plane shows up on TV radar display with any other
nearby targets. Principle of RADAR Uses of RADAR in various sectors Military Applications: In air defense it is used for target detection, target recognition and weapon control (directing the weapon to the tracked targets). In missile system to guide the weapon.
Identifying enemy locations in map.
Uses of RADAR in various sectors Air Traffic Control : To control air traffic near airports. The Air Surveillance RADAR is used to detect and display the aircraft’s position in the airport terminals. To guide the aircraft to land in bad weather using Precision Approach RADAR. To scan the airport surface for aircraft and ground vehicle positions Uses of RADAR in various sectors Remote Sensing: RADAR can be used for observing weather or observing planetary positions and monitoring sea ice to ensure smooth route for ships.
