Radar Principle - SkyRadar PDF

The document summarizes the basic principle of radar systems, which involves emitting a radio wave from a transmitter that bounces off an object and returns to a receiver. The time it takes for the wave to travel to the object and back can be used to calculate the object's distance through simple mathematics using the known speed of radio waves. The document also briefly describes SkyRadar as a company that develops and distributes various radar training systems for educational institutions.

The principle of a radar system (constant wave radar) emitting a wave and receiving the reflected wave that was reflected by an object (target).

Although some aspects of radar technology are very complex, involving higher mathematics, the basics of how radar works is
fairly straightforward. A radar system has a transmitter that sends out radio waves called radar signals in a direction determined
by the radio operator. These radar signals (made up of radio waves and microwaves – types of electromagnetic waves) bounce
