1. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.1 What is Radar? 1.3 How Radar Determines Range The term "RADAR" is an acronym meaning RAdio Detection And Ranging. It is a Radar determines the distance to the target device which measures the time it takes for by calculating the time difference between a pulsed signal to be reflected back from the transmission of a radar signal and the an object. reception of the reflected echo. It is a known fact that radar waves travel at a 1.2 How Ships Determined nearly constant
