Radar systems generally consist of a transmitter which can produce electromagnetic signal and which is radiated into space using an antenna. When this signals strikes an object it reflects into many ...

Radar technology is mainly known for generating weather data and for the surveillance of aircraft. Less well known are its applications in the study of migratory birds, bats, and insects, which ...

The newest Doppler radars, the type all National Weather Service offices use, have dual-polarization. This means the electromagnetic pulse sent out to detect objects in the atmosphere is both ...

The first global study of all the surface water on Earth is now underway. Last December, atop a Falcon 9 rocket, NASA launched a new satellite into orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa ...

It’s an issue we can no longer afford to treat as theoretical. To address this threat, the space industry must transition from ground-based tracking to orbit-based detection systems capable of ...

Looking at a weather radar image has become as ubiquitous as checking your phone or email. What started out as military technology has evolved into a powerful weather tool that can easily fit into the ...

Let’s start off with proof. Below is an animation of a measurement of airplanes and meteors I made using a radar system that I built with a few simple easily available pieces of hardware: two $8 RTL ...

Kelvin Hughes is celebrating 70 years of radar in 2017. In 1947 the first Type 1 radar was produced and installed on a new fishing trawler, the Type 1 then went on to be the first type approved radar, ...
