A radar mast is a high platform to mount a radar antenna such as the radar has an unobstructed view.
You need both a radar antenna and a GPS radar if this is marine then the radar antenna will perhaps include a Receiver and Transmitter as well and the GPS maybe a mushroom shape

the temperature of a radar is as hot as an elevation angle
A radar antenna is an example of power amplification because it receives weak signals from the radar transmitter and amplifies them to a higher power level before transmitting them back out into the environment. This increase in power allows the radar to detect objects at longer ranges and improve the overall performance of the system.

Elevation is a vertical lift and azimuth is a rotation around a vertical axis. An example of its use is in radar. The radar antenna rotates towards its target, its azimuth, and then lifts vertically to elevate the receiver then locks on to the target.
Radar range is affected by various factors, including the transmitted power, beamwidth, frequency, propagation losses, and antenna gain. Antenna gain plays a crucial role in determining the effective range of a radar system, as it focuses the transmitted energy in a particular direction, increasing the signal strength in that direction and consequently extending the radar range. A higher antenna gain typically results in a longer radar range by improving the system's ability to detect and track targets at greater distances.
The pointing direction of a radar beam refers to the direction in which the radar antenna is aiming or oriented to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves. This direction is crucial for accurately detecting and tracking targets, as it determines the coverage area of the radar system. The radar beam can be steered electronically or mechanically to scan a specific area or follow a moving target.

The six target characteristics of radar are range, velocity, azimuth, elevation, size, and radar cross section. Range refers to the distance of the target from the radar system, velocity represents the speed of the target, azimuth and elevation specify the target's horizontal and vertical angles, size indicates the physical dimensions of the target, and radar cross section is a measure of how well the target reflects radar signals.
Synthetic Aperture Radar synthesis a longer antenna (or Aperture) by integrating pulses together that overlap each other to exploit turn rate phenomena.
