Radar is short for "Radio Detection and Ranging".It is a technology that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects. It works by emitting radio waves to bounce back after hitting an object. This allows us to determine distance, speed and direction of the detected object.

Congratulations!

What led to the discovery of a new radar function?

According to the National Weather Service, analysts noted how the radar would receive strange return signals during periods of severe weather. They later learned that the signals detected precipitation, revealing another purpose for radar technology.

Serious developmental work on radar began in the 1930s. But the basic idea of radar had its origins in the classical experiments on electromagnetic radiation It was conducted by the German physicist Heinrich Hertz during the late 1880s.

the development of radar

What was the radar used for in the 1940s? Radar could pick up incoming enemy aircraft at a range of 80 miles and played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain by giving air defences early warning of German attacks.

Heinrich Hertz

He is a german phisicist who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. He is best known for his experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves, which laid the foundation for the development of technologies like radio and radar.

How weather radars have saved lives for over 30 years?

Another development was the use of Doppler radar. These radars could detect the movement of particles, precipitation and wind inside a storm based on the signals returned to the radars. According to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), this allowed forecasters to see where a storm was headed and even see where tornadoes might be forming.

United States Naval Research Laboratory

The first observation of the radar effect at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., was made in 1922. NRL researchers positioned a radio transmitter on one shore of the Potomac River and a receiver on the other. A ship sailing on the river unexpectedly caused fluctuations in the intensity of the received signals when it passed between the transmitter and receiver.
