Basic Introduction Radar mainly consists of a transmitter, a receiver, antennas,signal processor and an indicator screen. Duplexer(双工器) Basic Working Principle Of Radar Radar basically involves transmitting a burst of electromagnetic energy by means of an antenna, which concentrates the waves into a shaped beam pointing in the desired direction. When these transmitted signals strike an object in the path of the beam, a tiny fraction of the total energy is reflected to form an echo signal. Basic Working Principle Of Radar Radar History In Brief James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves in his theory of electromagnetism as long ago as 1864. He showed mathematically that all electromagnetic waves travel at the same velocity in free space, independent of their wavelength, and this velocity is as same as the speed of light. Radar History In Brief Before radar could be born, scientists needed to understand the behaviour of electromagnetic waves according to the fundamental equations developed by James Clerk Maxwell around 1864. Radar History In Brief In 1886 Heinrich Rudolf Hertz verified Maxwells equations through laboratory experiments, where he found that radio waves could be transmitted through different materials, whereas being (partly) reflected at the surface of an object. Radar History In Brief The first radar is claimed to be invent Christian Hiilsnieyer in 1904, developed for traffic supervision on the river Rhine. Radar History In Brief In 1924 Sir Edward Victor Appleton used radio echoes to determine the height of the ionosphere, but the first practical radar system was produced by Sir Robert W
