Radar in Common Applications

Time:2020-05-19

The advantage of radar is that it can detect long-distance targets during the day and night, and is not blocked by fog, clouds and rain. It has the characteristics of all-weather and all-day, and has a certain penetration ability. Therefore, it has not only become an indispensable military electronic equipment, but also widely used in social and economic development (such as weather forecasting, resource exploration, environmental monitoring, etc.) and scientific research (celestial research, atmospheric physics, ionospheric structure research, etc.). Spaceborne and airborne synthetic aperture radar has become a very important sensor in remote sensing. Ground-targeted radars can detect the precise shape of the ground. Its spatial resolution can reach several meters to tens of meters, and has nothing to do with distance. Radar has also shown good application potential in flood monitoring, sea ice monitoring, soil moisture survey, forest resource inventory, geological survey and so on.
