Q1) What is a radar?
Radar, which stands for “Radio Detection and Ranging,” is a technology that uses radio waves to detect, locate, track, and identify objects and targets in the atmosphere, on the Earth’s surface, or in space. It is widely used in various applications, including meteorology, aviation, military defense, maritime navigation, and traffic control. Radar systems operate on the principle of emitting radio waves and then analyzing the echoes or reflections of those waves when they bounce off objects.
