What is RADAR?

 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.
