The area of RADAR and it's applications is very diverse and so are there capabilities and weaknesses, but if someone said to me a common radar I would think of small yacht radar using a Magnetron, Mechanical Scanned printed Antenna FET Receiver and non coherent Pulsed Radar Signal Processing. However it others it might be a FMCW speed control radar used by the police, or a Air Traffic Control radar. What is for sure is it would not be a military radar which are much more advanced and specialised with greater capacities then these RADARs, and therefore cannot be described as common. Perhaps I might add that it might be my view that a common radar has at least two degrees of freedom Azimuth and Range and may not have elevation or Doppler measurements.

What is relative motion radar?

Relative motion radar is a type of radar system that detects and tracks moving objects by measuring their relative motion compared to the radar system itself. It is commonly used in military and civilian applications for surveillance, navigation, and collision avoidance. The radar calculates the velocity of targets by analyzing the Doppler shift in the reflected signal.

What can track an aircraft in the air?

We commonly use radar to track aircraft.There are other methods that have and can be applied to this task. Before the invention of a reliable radar, people with field glasses would scan the sky for planes. Some "listening devices" were also tried. There are some current methods that can be applied using infrared signatures, but it is still radar that is the most commonly applied.

What is the difference between a Doppler radar and a regular radar?

Normal radar sends out radio waves to determine the location of an object. Doppler radar can not only find the location of an object or storm, but using something known as the Doppler effect can determine how fast it is moving towards or away from the radar.
