  Radar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radar is used in many contexts, including meteorological detection of precipitation, air traffic control, police detection of speeding traffic, and by the military.
In the transmitted radar signal, the electric field is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and this direction of the electric field is the Polarization of the wave.
Radar jamming refers to RF signals originating from sources outside the radar, transmitting in the radar's frequency and thereby masking targets of interest.

This long range radar antenna (approximately 40m (130ft) in diameter) rotates on a track to observe activities near the horizon.
RADAR is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging or Radio Angle Detection And Ranging.
The radar may try to unify the targets, reporting the target at an incorrect height, or worse - eliminating it on the basis of jitter or a physical impossibility.

 ejge paper 2005 -0581
While it is known in theory that radar measurements can be potentially used to detect the subsurface physical property changes associated with subsidence activity, there have been no publications to date that demonstrate the successful application of both borehole tomography and surface 3D radar techniques towards mine-related subsidence problems.
Borehole radar was shown to be capable of providing insight into the nature and extent of subsidence-related fracturing in saturated, consolidated units existing at depths which were not able to be investigated (due to signal attenuation) using surface-based radar.
Surface radar was been shown to be effective for quickly and accurately detecting subsidence-related disruption of the near-surface roadway structure at depths that were not able to be characterized (due to refraction interference and signal attenuation) using cross-hole radar.

 3D Visualization: July 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
While laser radars are good at determining the speed of an object, their real strength is in measuring the exact distance (or range) to a point on an object.
Laser radar (or LADAR) systems can also be used to build up a 3D image by scaning the target object, often collecting millions of precise range measurements to different points on the surface.
This radar image was originally generated by Leica Geosystems and was provided to Splinex for development and testing of voxel visualization software.

 Air-Search Radar
The primary function of a height-finding radar (sometimes referred to as a three-coordinate or 3D radar) is that of computing accurate ranges, bearings, and altitudes of aircraft targets detected by air-search radars.
Modern 3D radar is often used as the primary air-search radar (figure 1-27).
The 3D radar system transmits several narrow beams to obtain altitude coverage and, for this reason, compensation for roll and pitch must be provided for shipboard installations to ensure accurate height information.

 T&A Survey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
To overcome these limitations a directional ground penetrating radar was developed with down hole transmitting signal generation at the transmitting end and down hole sampling at the receiving end.
By using the 3D BHR technology during tunnel drillings they will be rapidly informed of the nature of the obstacles or geological boundaries in front of the TBM.
Due to the unprecedented penetration of the directional radar signal, combined with its typical high resolution, it is able to investigate the first meters of the reservoir formation and build up a fully detailed 3D image of the surroundings of the borehole.

 [No title]
The solution to overcome these limitations was to build a directional ground penetrating radar with down hole transmitting signal generation, at the transmitting side, and down hole sampling, at the receiving side, all fitting in a single borehole which has acceptable borehole dimensions, transporting information digitally using widely available technology to make it highly extensible.
The 3D BHR is also equipped with hard- and software to cope with the large data throughput, as a result of the 3D measurements, and the orientation and full 3D positioning during the measurements.
Orientation is determined using angle encoders for the internal angle, caused by the motor, and sensitive low velocity gyroscopes for the external angle, caused by the rotation of the 3D BHR in the borehole.

 Martello air defence search radar
Height finding by radar is based upon the measurement of the angle of elevation of the target: thus 3D radars must ascribe an angle to every echo received.
By comparison, the radiation from microwave radars is largely independent of ground effects and can be made to produce a more complete vertical coverage pattern: by various means, this pattern can have a beam structure enabling responses from different elevation angles to be identified.
Typical 3D horn-stack radars have 'first side lobes' in azimuth in the range -20 to -25 dB depending on frequency, but Martello was designed to be around -30 dB over the entire operating band, with very low 'far-out' side lobes.

In the movies, radar (or sonar) seems so simple: an operator sends out a signal, gets a blip on a screen, and learns exactly where the object he's seeking is located.
"A radar at a single point returns information about where objects are in only one dimension, range, or distance from the radar," he says.
With a single pulse in a single location, you have no idea what or where the object is, except that it's on the spherical shell of a given radius.
