remote sensing
The remote sensing device that uses a system of 27 satellites transmitting microwaves is the Global Positioning System (GPS). These satellites orbit the Earth and provide location and timing information to GPS receivers on the ground. By analyzing the microwave signals received from multiple satellites, GPS receivers can calculate precise positions anywhere on Earth.

Wavelength in remote sensing refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. Different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, infrared, and microwaves, are used in remote sensing to gather information about Earth's surface and atmosphere. By analyzing the wavelengths of reflected or emitted radiation, scientists can infer valuable data about the environment being observed.
Active remote sensing uses its own electromagnetic radiation and use microwaves. It maps areas hard to map.
A mapmaker might use active remote sensing over passive remote sensing because active remote sensing provides its own source of energy to illuminate the target, allowing for more control over the data collected. This can result in better resolution and accuracy in mapping features of interest.
Passive remote sensing picks up wave lengths of the light spectrum occurring on their own such light in photography. Active remote sensing will send out a wavelength of the spectrum and measure how it bounces back like radar.
Active remote sensing uses its own energy source to illuminate the target and measure the reflected signals, such as radar. Passive remote sensing relies on external energy sources, like the sun, and measures the natural radiation emitted or reflected by the target, such as with optical sensors.
Active remote-sensing systems use their own energy source to obtain information by transmitting a signal and analyzing the data that is reflected or backscattered. This can include radar systems that emit microwaves or lidar systems that emit laser light.
Optical remote sensing is affected by cloud covers , rain etc but microwave remote sensing is not.However the optical sensors always need sun as a source of illumination while active microwave sensors don't need.
The four types of remote sensing are passive remote sensing (detects natural radiation), active remote sensing (emits energy and measures its reflection), aerial photography (uses cameras on aircraft or satellites), and satellite imaging (capturing images from space using satellites).
Three types of remote sensing are passive remote sensing (detects natural radiation emitted or reflected by objects), active remote sensing (sends out its own radiation to illuminate objects), and aerial photography (capturing images of the Earth's surface from aircraft or satellites).

Active remote sensing transmits energy to allow an image to be formed. Passive remote sensing collects energy reflected or emitted from a surface. Active systems direct a bean of energy at a surface and analyze the energy reflected back. An example of active sensing would be a radar. Passive systems are pretty much what the eyes see, and it's like a photograph. Passive sensing radiates visible light.
