Description
Radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging.) is an object-detection system which uses electromagnetic waves – specifically radio waves – to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as spacecraft and missiles.
The radar dish, or antenna, transmitted pulses of radio waves or microwaves which bounced off any object in their path. The object thus returned a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna which was usually located at the same site as the transmitter.
