Monostatic Radar

Monostatic radar is a system where the same device both emits radio waves and listens for their return after bouncing off objects. It sends out a pulse of energy and then waits for echoes to come back, which reveals the presence, distance, and speed of objects like aircraft, ships, or weather formations. This setup simplifies equipment by using one location for both transmitting and receiving signals, making it widely used in navigation, weather forecasting, and defense. The key feature is the shared antenna for both functions, enabling effective detection and tracking.
