Introduction RADAR (RAdio Detecting And Ranging)

• RADAR (Radio Detecting and Ranging)

• Radar is an electromagnetic system for the detection
and location of objects.
• It operates by transmitting a particular type of
waveform, a pulse-modulated sine wave for example,
and detects the nature of the echo signal.
• Radar is used to extend the capability of one's senses
for observing the environment, especially the sense of
vision. The value of radar lies not in being a substitute
for the eye, but in doing what the eye cannot do

 Topic
Design and Development A Display Unit
of a Miniature Radar System for
laboratory use as a training aid for
Electromagnetic and Microwave
courses.
 Why For Lab Use
• To help students visualize Electromagnetic and
Microwave theories better.
• Appreciation of
• Build better understanding of the topics that are
necessary in radar and electromagnetic studies
• Identify the strengths and limitations of theoretical
models as predictors of real-world behaviors
 Display
• To observe the targets as observed by the radar
• By creating a 2 dimensional Display
 General Radar Display Types
RAW VIDEO
• Raw video displays are
simply oscilloscopes that
display the detected and
amplified target return
signal (and the receiver
noise). Raw video displays
require a human operator
to interpret the various
target noise and clutter
signals.
SYNTHETIC VIDEO
• Synthetic video displays
use a computer to clean
up the display by
eliminating noise and
clutter and creating it's
own precise symbol for
each target.
 SEARCH AND ACQUISITION RADARS
• They generally use either a PPI or a sector PPI
display

PPI scope (plan position indicator).

• Polar plot of direction and distance.
• Displays all targets for 360 degrees.

Sector PPI scope.

• Polar plot of direction and distance.
• Displays all targets within a specific sector.
