Is the Doppler radar the only satellite radar in the world?

Actually the Doppler Radar aka nexrad Next generation radar is not a satellite it is a radar. Satellites are floating around the world in space and Doppler radars are here on earth to monitor weather. As far as I know the Doppler radar is the only weather radar in the world. It is basically the only thing used for monitoring weather. I the above is not quite correct. Weather radars come in two basic types coherent and non-coherent. The Coherent radar come in Doppler Radar which can be FMCW or Active Pulse Doppler. The non coherent Pulse Radar merely aim high energy pulses at the clouds and display the returned power in a colour display. The coherent version integrates many pulses together to gain a Higher signal to Noise and to detect water drops moving in clouds. That aside, to answer the question which has nothing to do with weather radar, Doppler radar is frequency used in space verticals because its coherent processing gains in achieves help to offset the ranges it operates over, but it is not the only radar technique to be used on satellites and it depends on what the radar is trying achieve. Note that Doppler radar is non a synonymous exclusively of "nexrad Next generation radar".


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.


What are the differences between Doppler radar and coherent radr?

How are differences in rain intensity viewed of a Doppler radar?

A Doppler radar is a radar that uses a coherent transmitter pulse from a solid state transmitter system, rather than the incoherent pulse from a device such as a magnetron. A coherent signal is a pure sine wave, therefore having a single frequency spectrum, rather than a cluster of frequencies. The radar detects rain/wet snow etc in the normal way, by measuring it's Rayliegh backscatter coefficient. However, it can also detect rapid motion of raindrops by measuring the spectrum of the returned signal. The Doppler principal will cause frequency shifts in the signal that can be extracted by Fourier analysis. This allows the violence of the storm to be measured.


Is coherent a verb?

No, coherent is an adjective.


What is a commonly known radar?

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.
