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.

Waveguide of a microwave?

A waveguide, is a hollow rectangular tube, designed to channel microwaves from the Magnetron to the outside world. Rather than use a wire, this is found to be the best way to transfer microwaves at 3 cm to 10cm wavelength. (Some 10cm systems use large coax instead) They are normally found on radar systems, to transfer the signal to and from the rotating scanner to the transceiver unit. Modern radars keep the length of the waveguide to a minimum, by housing the transceiver in the motor unit of the scanner, instead of a separate room.


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".

How were radars used back then?

they used to have little mice that would run out on the fields and that would transmit energy to the radars!!! isn't that incredible!!!!!


Why are maps important to pilot on the plane?

Because they need to see where they are going. When you think about it they won't know what state or country they are without maps. Even the radars and such can't show them!

Do radars have long or short waves?

Radars can use both long and short waves depending on the specific application. Weather radars typically use longer waves (C band) to penetrate through precipitation, while military radars may use shorter waves (X band) for higher resolution and accuracy.
