high-frequency radar

High-frequency radar uses radio waves with very short wavelengths to detect objects and measure their movement or position. It emits these waves, which bounce off objects like aircraft, ships, or weather formations. The radar then analyzes the returning signals to determine location, speed, and other characteristics. This technology is valuable for air traffic control, weather monitoring, and defense, providing precise and quick information about objects at long distances. Its high frequency allows for detailed detection and improved resolution compared to lower-frequency radar systems.
