'Radar' is an acronym derived from the words Radio Detection and Ranging. It is used in maritime civil applications as a navigation aid to avoid collisions. The technique uses short bursts of an emitted electromagnetic wave at high frequency and precise direction. If an object is near the antenna transmitting these bursts, echos are sent back to the antenna. The time between the transmission and the reception of an echo is an indication of the ...
