The radar antenna sends out a short pulse of radio waves in a direction, then
listens for radio waves coming back. If any radio waves come back, then they
must have hit something and echoed (bounced) back. The time it takes them
to return tells how far away the solid object is that they bounced off of.
Then the antenna turns to a slightly different direction and does the whole thing
again.

What is the difference between laser detectors and radar detectors?
Laser detectors detect laser speed devices and Radar detectors detect radar speed devices.Unfortunately it's usually too late when they detect Lasers.
What is a police radar detector?
A radar that the police use to detect stuff.
A method of finding the position of a solid object by sending out a pulse of high frequency radio waves?
Radar
How can we detect the speed of the ball?
get a radar gun.
What is minimum detectable signal in a radar system?
the minimum discernible signal is the ability of the radar to detect the smallest return echo,this feature requires performing test according to situation display data
What is the basis of radar?
to detect the object
How is radar like echolocation?
they both detect the distance from the object.
Can a radar detect you on a jet ski?
Yes, a radar gun can be used on any moving object.
What are the functions of a radar?
To detect, track, and sometimes identify objects via the emission of radio waves. Speed radar (like those used by police) can detect nearby objects and calculate their speed. Weather radar can detect the location of clouds and rain. Air traffic radar can detect and track unidentified flying objects. With the help a monopulse secondary surveillance radar, the radar system can identify the individual planes. Higher technology radars can detect and identify distant small objects with great precision.
What do radars show?
The radar shows the position and the distance of an object.
What is a palindrome for a method of finding the position of a solid object?
radar
What is an azran?
An azran is a position in polar coordinates of an object located by radar.
Air craft detecting device?
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 aircrafts.
Can radar detect without internet or has to be online to detect?
Radar needs to be online in order to detect. Anything that has to do with being online requires internet. No, radar cannot detect without internet.

How stealth aircraft hide them from opponent?
A radar system sends out a wave. When part of this wave hits something, it bounces back to the radar receiver, the radar can then work out the size, location, and also the velocity of the object. A stealth plane is specially made to scatter radar waves across its angular surface. The radar might not be able to detect it, or estimate that the object is far smaller than any military vehicle and therefore not sound any kind of alarm.
