It measures the time for the reflected signal to return. Early RADAR sets made this measurement and directly converted it to distance by using a CRT with calibrated markings on its face in units of distance. Modern RADAR sets use high speed digital counters then compute and show the distance numerically.

What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?

Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.


Who created the radar?

Radar stands for Radio Detection And Ranging. Radar was originally called RDF (Radio Direction Finder) in Britain. A number of nations including USA, France, Britain, Germany and USSR were working on forms of radar prior to WWII, however the British were the first to put a working system into operation.


What are some nonmilitary uses for radar besides weather?

Radar can be used to detect distance to an object by determining round trip echo time. Some uses below: Level monitoring of substances in a container or silo-the radar antenna transmits downward from the top of the container and determines the distance to the top of the substance, allowing the operator to determine the amount of substance in the tank. Radar can be used by vehicle collision avoidance systems. Basically, any time distance to an object is required, radar is an excellent solution.
