Luis Alvarez did pretty much all of his work in the USA.
During WW II he made improvements to IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) radar beacons - now known as transponders.
He also worked on the VIXEN system which made it easier for airborne radar to detect enemy submarines without them realizing they had been found.
Alvarez invented a linear dipole array antenna, the first microwave phased-array antenna. This antenna was used in both the Microwave Early Warning (MEW) system and the Eagle precision bombing radar that allowed Allied forces to carry out bombings even in bad weather or through clouds.
He is most famous for developing the Ground Controlled Approach (GCA) radar that allows ground control to guide an aircraft into the runway by transmitting verbal commands to the pilot. The system was simple, direct, and worked well, even with previously untrained pilots. It was so successful that the military continued to use it for many years after the war, and it was still in use in some countries in the 1980s. Although he developed the GCA radar in the USA, he spent the summer of 1943 in England testing and improving it.

Various systems were used. Directional radio systems like LORAN, radar systems, and optical/astronomical instruments in combination with chronometers were all used under differing circumstances. Radio and radar signals were affected by distance from the source and sometimes by weather conditions, and optical location was also impossible under circumstances like heavy cloud cover or fog.

Another name for radar waves is radar systems or electromagnetic waves.
electrical
That is the tower or building that the radar sits on. Radar systems are usually placed in high places so they have an unobstructed view.
NetAcquire makes systems that do that.

The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air traffic control, radar astronomy, air-defense systems, antimissile systems; marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships; aircraft anticollision systems; ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems; meteorological precipitation monitoring; altimetry and flight control systems; guided missile target locating systems; and ground-penetrating radar for geological observations. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing and are capable of extracting objects from very high noise levels.
You can detect most types of radar itself,but you need other detectors for other systems.
Radar systems usually use wavelengths and are associated with digital signal processing. They consist of a transmitter, antenna receiver, switch, data recorder, processor, and display. Radar systems are used to track things including weather.
