What is Radar ?
Radar observables
Target range (distance) Target angles (azimuth & elevation) Target size (radar cross section) Target speed (Doppler) Target features (imaging)
Target range =
ct 2
Types Of Scan:
1.Primary Scan: circular scan, sector scan
2.Secondary Scan : conical scan, unidirectional sector scan.
3.Palmer Scan:

Search radars scan a large area with pulses of short radio waves Targeting radars use the same principle but scan a smaller area more often Navigational radars are like search radar, but use short waves that reflect off hard surfaces. They are used on commercial ships and long-distance commercial aircraft
Mapping radar scans a large regions for remote sensing and geography applications . Air traffic control uses radar to reflect echoes off of aircraft. Weather radar uses radar to reflect echoes off of clouds
radars use radio waves with horizontal, dual (horizontal and vertical), or circular polarization
Some
strength of the echo received from the ionosphere measures the number of electrons able to scatter radio waves or what we call electron pressure.
When an electron is removed from an atom, the remaining charged atom is called an ion. The ion gas can have a different temperature from the electron gas The electron/ion mixture is known as a plasma and is usually in motion (like our wind) So incoherent scatter radar can also measure wind speed
