    However, since humans reflect far less radar energy than metal does, these systems require sophisticated technology to isolate human targets and moreover to process any sort of detailed image. Through-the-wall radars can be made with Ultra Wideband impulse radar, micro-Doppler radar, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Imaging radar; 3D radar

  3. Radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar

    Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance ( ranging ), direction ( azimuth and elevation angles ), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. It is a radiodetermination method [1] used to detect and track aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, map weather formations, and terrain.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERA_passive_sensor

    V-ELINT18 (resemblance) The VERA passive surveillance ESM system [1] (known as Věra in Czech) is an electronic support measures (ESM) system that uses measurements of time difference of arrival (TDOA) of pulses at three or four sites to accurately detect and track airborne emitters. The manufacturer is ERA a.s. [ cz], based in Pardubice.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnestr_radar

    Dnestr radar ( Russian: Днестр) and Dnepr radar ( Russian: Днепр ), both known by the NATO reporting name Hen House [note 1] are the first generation of Soviet space surveillance and early warning radars. Six radars of this type were built around the periphery of the Soviet Union starting in the 1960s to provide ballistic missile ...

[ citation needed ] AN/SPS-65 Development of AN/SPS-58 by Westinghouse as a low altitude radar that is part of the Mark 91 Fire Control System for the Sea Sparrow air defense ...

  8. History of radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_radar

    The history of radar (where radar stands for radio detection and ranging) started with experiments by Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century that showed that radio waves were reflected by metallic objects. This possibility was suggested in James Clerk Maxwell 's seminal work on electromagnetism.

  9. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    Doppler effect. The emitted signal toward the car is reflected back with a variation of frequency that depends on the speed away/toward the radar (160 km/h). This is only a component of the real speed (170 km/h). The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference ...
