Pulse-Doppler Radar

Pulse-Doppler radar is a technology that detects objects like aircraft or weather formations by sending out short bursts (pulses) of radio waves. When these waves hit an object, they bounce back and are received by the radar. By measuring the time it takes for the echoes to return, the radar determines distance. It also analyzes changes in the frequency of the returned signals (Doppler shift), which reveals the object's speed and movement direction. This combination allows Pulse-Doppler radar to effectively distinguish moving targets from static background clutter, improving accuracy in navigation, weather monitoring, and defense systems.
