A radiosonde is an instrument package sent aloft attached to a balloon. A radar is a ground device which can track a balloon (with appropriate target attached) as well as pick up rainfall echoes (if it operates at the appropriate radio frequency)

What happens when radar beam hits an object?

When a radar beam hits an object, it gets reflected back towards the radar receiver. The time difference between sending the radar signal and receiving the reflected signal is used to calculate the distance of the object from the radar. The radar can also determine the object's speed and shape based on how the radar signal is reflected.


What is the difference between laser detectors and radar detectors?

Laser detectors detect laser beams used by law enforcement to measure speed, while radar detectors detect radio waves used by police radar guns. Laser detectors are more precise but have a shorter range compared to radar detectors. It's recommended to have both types of detectors for comprehensive coverage.


What is coherent radar?

Coherent radar is a radar system that maintains a constant phase relationship between the transmitted and received radar signals. This allows for accurate measurements of the target's range, velocity, and direction. Coherent radar systems are widely used in weather monitoring, air traffic control, and military applications.


What does the Doppler radar measure?

A narrow microwave signal is directed at the moving vehicle at a known frequency, due to its motion the reflected signal will arrive back at the radar at a different frequency, an algorithm in the radar processor converts this difference to give the vehicles speed. Presumably the angle between the cop and the speeder will have to be taken into account as well.


Difference between searching and tracking radar?

Search radar explore large volume of space. Normally it has a 360 degree of azimuth and 20-30 degrees to 90 degrees elevation angle. Tracking radars locks a perticular target. Normally it has a narrow azimuth.

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 is the difference between a radar detector and a radar jammer?

A detector alerts the user to the presence of signals used by police equipment. A jammer either blocks or provides false readings on speed detecting equipment.


What is the difference between working principal of a radio altimeter and radar altimeter?

They are one in the same. They use radio waves for RAdio Detection and RAnging. Radar is an acrynom, why they flip flopped the R and the A in ranging is beyond me.They're both the same thing


What is the difference between radar identification and radar contact?

Radar identified refers to your aircraft's position presented on a ground based radar screen and by using a squawk code in the aircraft which corresponds to the ground based station your aircraft is then identified. Radar control refers to an aircraft already identified on the radar screen and flying in controlled airspace under an IFR flight plan and the ground based station would provide heading, speed and altitude you should fly at.
