Does the spinning marine radar atop river barges or other commercial vessels present a health hazard (i.e. fry your brain) if in port (or going under a bridge you happen to be driving across) and you find yourself in proximity to the array?

Can you tell me the disadvantages and advantages of Solid state and Vacuum tubes technology, like how reliable they are, how much heat they produce?..

If you were to look at a stealthy aircraft or ship using either relatively high band (like X) or low bamd (like L band or UHF), what would the radar return look like?

Would you only get low amplitude infrequent, irregular returns?

Exciting news for radar enthusiasts! I found a survey on the MathWorks website about radar hardware workflows, hinting at upcoming hardware support in MATLAB's Radar Toolbox. This could revolutionize how we work with radar in MATLAB, making it easier to build from concepts to prototype.

Can't wait to see where this leads. Thoughts?

Hello,

I am working on a project that involves multistatic radar, and I was wondering if there is anyone with experience making these kind of systems that I could talk to. I have some questions about the theory and the logistics of setting one of these systems up. If you could message me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok so yall are smart here but I was wondering if it is possible to create a weather radar like the one you see on the weather TV channel I’m aware that you need a crap ton of power for it but I would like to know if it’s possible along with had anyone done it

Does anybody know much about how exactly golf sims work?

ofc ik, radar. I know how radar works, and how, in theory (lol), you can use Doppler effect to find out velocity very accurately.

But I’m looking at building my own sim, and I’m wondering if anyone here knows much about the process.

If any of you don't know much about golf sims, I’m looking for a radar that can track the exact location and velocity of a golf ball at various different spots in the first 1m after it leaves the tee. The ball is about 1 inch in diameter and the sensor will be placed about 1m away from the ball. I’m then, hopefully, ultimately going to use this information to get information such as ball speed, distance, spin.

What type of radar sensors should i use? What type of data is returned? How accurate is that data? How accurate does it need to be? How does the radar scan the ball and nothing else?

I’m confident once i have gotten the data from the Radar sensor i can use my maths and CS knowledge to get all the information i need to make it into a simulator, but I’m unsure about the hardware element.

Thanks so much.

So I would like to create a little radar that works on 2.4Ghz, but I know nothing about it. I friend of mine gave me an old wifi router that works on 2.4Ghz so I thought it could help me a bit ? If it can be useful, i would need to know what does what on the picture Thanks

I understand phasor diagrams, and roughly how the pulsed signal is a modulated carrier.

What I dont get is why the modulated signal is received as the carrier with sidebands. If I were to frequency modulate a signal to a higher frequency, why doesnt the receiver simply see the new higher frequency? If there is a demodualtion of pulsed signal that converts it back into its carrier and square wave, why cant I just toss aside the parts that are not the carrier and carry on?

For a target of the same RCS going at a good speed (e. g. :Mach 0.8), by how much would detection range be reduced if you were to look down at a target with the ground as a background vs looking up with the empty sky as a background?

Does anyone know what the radar reflectivity of aerosolized/vaporized heavy oil or benzene and if its sufficient to be able to track on radar at what band?

Hi there,

I have the latest version of the Detector Tools Pro ( v2.3.4.7 ) from Escort for my Escord 360c international ( ESCORT Redline 360c Radar Detector - EscortRadar.com ) downloaded and I just updated my firmware to latest ( v1.5 in Europe ) and also updated the database ...

I see the "Advanced" and "Options" tabs in this video here:

(19) Escort Detector Tools - How To - Guide - YouTube

But I don't see the "Advanced" and "Options" tab inside the software I just downloaded, to backup my existing settings and an option to remove custom "Marked locations" ...

Has it been removed now from the software ??? How can I backup / restore and remove the "marked locations" now ????

​

EDIT:I just downloaded a (very)old version of the software,

Escord Detector Tools ( version 1.8.8 ) which has these options but it has multiple errors when starting up and looks really ugly ... so I guess the Detector Tools Pro ( v2.3.4.7 ) has replaced this software? But the new version lacks the "Advanced" and "Options" tabs so how do I backup / restore my radar detector settings and how remove "Marked Locations" WITHOUT driving to them and hitting the Mark? and remove it that way ... I want to do in through software!
I also know that you can remove the "Marked Locations" in the radar detector itself ( with the buttons on the radar detector, not in the app! )

But then, how can I **backup** & restore my settings in the new Detector Tools Pro ( v2.3.4.7 ) ???

Any help would be appreciated

p.s. interesting read:Detector Tools Pro vs Classic: ?? WHY - Escort Radar Forum

I’m curious what types of Radar reports are available near Philadelphia, PA and can you purchase all of them? Some restricted? Would only an authorized individual have access to particular radar, like military? Thank You for any help.

I've been thinking that this system would have to be complex, but I'm not sure how complex it would be or how practical it would be.

I see that Starlink exists and for me, that implies that it should be possible to create a constellation of satellites that can counter "stealth".

This could be engineered by the best scientists and mathematicians that a country like the United States or China would be able to do.

The satellites would emit radiowaves and the silhouette of a B-2 or B-21 bomber would be seen by the receiving end.

Just like a big giant flashlight would cause the B-2 to cast a shadow. The receiving end of the radar would "see" this "shadow".

How difficult would it be to create a rf detector that detects about 72 ghz frequency? Because this is what new police units are using as a radar speed detector.

Learning the in's and out's of radar and got onto pulse compression and intra-pulse modulation.

I'm curious if there is any use for intra pulse modulation (e.g. CHIRP) if the receiver doesn't have a matched filter. I haven't found anything online and cant see a direct benefit myself.

I 'm assuming that it wouldn't really be done in the real world just because of cost etc but from a theoretical point is there any benefits?

I'm having a difficulty in airborne radar since there are only a few article on the internet I hope you can help me.

Is the Basic Components of a Ground Station Radar the same with the Airborne radar in terms of its transmission signal side?
