Aircraft radar is a device that uses electromagnetic waves for aerial monitoring and navigation. It detects the positional speed and direction of the target mainly by emitting radio waves and receiving their reflected signals.
The working principle of aircraft radar can be divided into three steps: launch, reception and processing.
First of all, the radar system will convert electrical energy into electromagnetic waves through a high-frequency power supply. These electromagnetic waves can be radio waves, microwaves or other frequency electromagnetic waves. Then, the radar system sends electromagnetic waves into the air to form an electromagnetic beam.
Next, when these electromagnetic beams encounter objects, some electromagnetic waves will be reflected back to the radar system by the target object. These reflected waves will be captured by radar receivers and converted into electrical signals.
Finally, the radar system will process and analyze the received signals. It will calculate the position, speed and direction of the target object and display this information on the radar screen for the operator's reference.
It should be noted that the radar system will be affected by many interference factors when working, such as meteorological conditions, the shape and material of the target object, etc. In order to reduce the impact of these interferences on the radar system, engineers will optimize the design of the radar and use signal processing algorithms to improve the performance of the radar system.
