   Radar
   An instrument for determining the distance and direction to an object by measuring the time needed for radio signals to travel from the instrument to the object and back, and by measuring the angle through which the instrument`s antenna has traveled.

   Radar
   A system of detecting and locating targets which are capable of reflecting high frequency radio waves (microwaves), generally in the wavelength range from a fraction of a centimetre to some tens of centimetres. Radar is used in meteorology to detect and measure cloud and precipitaion elements. Radar images are regularly used in television weather broadcasts to show the movement of rain bearing cloud formations across the country.

    Radar
    Radar detects distant objects and determines their position, velocity, and other characteristics by analysis of very high frequency radio waves reflected from their surfaces. Since the introduction of radar during the Second World War, radar countermeasures have been under development as well, and stealth technology is now an effective means of av...

    Radar
    `Radar` is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. A transmitter emits radio waves, which are reflected by the target and detected by a receiver, typically in the same location as the transmitter. Although the radio signal returned is usually very weak, radio signals can easily be amplifi...
