An FMCW radar may make use of Doppler, but it doesn't necessarily.

What was the day that the first ever Doppler RADAR used in?

The military applied Doppler RADAR during the 1940s, but the exact date is not known (the usage was probably in classified systems).


What does dopler radar do?

A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that makes use of the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by beaming a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar. Doppler radars are used in aviation, sounding satellites, meteorology, police speed guns,[1], radiology, and bistatic radar (surface to air missile).


What are the differences between cw radar and fmcw radar?

CW Radar or Continues Wave Radar uses a constant transmission and is usually used for angle only tracking and can be combined with a second emission that is pulses or swept to deuce range using and separate antenna (or on a time schedule in some cases). The CW part of a CW Radar reference to the transition duty Ratio and because Dead and Listen time are over lapped they normally have two antennas. FM CW Radar or Frequency Modulated Continues Wave Radar, is similar to the CW set up but the Carrier Radio Frequency is swept, when processed this data can produce range data. Again the Dead and Listen time our overlapped and it is normal for separated antenna to be used. The Frequency sweep is repeated in successive management ion different angles Pulsed Radar Transmits a short pulse rather then continuously like the FMCW Radar or CW Radar and has a short Dead time and long listen time During the dead time when the transmission pulse is emitted the receiver is blanked to protect it, After the pulse has completed transmission the receiver is opened to receive the returns. This means that the receiver and transmission times are mutually exclusive and therefore the same antenna can used for both jobs. As the pulse is short the transmission peak power maybe higher then the CW Power but is present for less time. I Hybrid Radar is ICW or Interrupted Continues Wave (some times called Interrupted Carrier Wave) which is really a pulse radar with a high duty cycle.

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".


Who invented Doppler radar?

Christian Doppler


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.


Is Doppler radar used for finding hurricanes?

Yes, Doppler Radar can be used to find all storms!


What is a C-Band Doppler radar?

C-Band Doppler Radar is any Doppler radar system which operates in the C-Band of the electromagnetic spectrum (around 4.8Ghz). These are typically the radar systems seen at TV stations as they are affordable and powerful enough for their purposes.


Who discovered the Doppler effect?

Christian Doppler did not invent Doppler Radar. He described what is now known as the Doppler effect in 1842 in Austria. It is used to describe the behavior of waves (such as light or sound) that are emitted by a moving object. Doppler radar, which utilizes the Doppler effect, was developed in the United States during World War II.
