LAB 1: INTRODUCTION TO RADAR SYSTEM

Title : Introduction to the Radar System

Objectives:
The objective of this experiment is to expose student on the operation of the RADAR
system and related equipment on board-ship /vessel.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this experiment, the student should be able to:
1. Understand on RADAR system operations
2. Understand the components within the RADAR system

Introduction:

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range,
altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft,
guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. The radar dish (or antenna)
transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves that bounce off any object in their path. The
object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna that is usually located at
the same site as the transmitter.
