Scanning Radar
A scanning radar is a system that uses radio waves to detect objects and determine their distance and movement. It emits a beam of radio signals that bounce off objects and return to the sensor. By analyzing these returning signals, the radar can identify the location, speed, and size of objects like aircraft, ships, or weather formations. The radar continuously scans a wide area by rotating or changing the direction of the beam, providing real-time information for navigation, safety, and monitoring purposes. This technology is essential in aviation, maritime, weather forecasting, and defense.
