Marine radar works by emitting radio waves that reflect off objects, such as other vessels, land, or weather patterns, and return to the radar antenna. The system analyzes the time it takes for the signals to return, calculating the distance of objects based on their reflection. This data is displayed as a radar image, helping […]

Understanding how marine radar works is essential for navigating safely on the water. Marine radar systems use radio waves to detect objects and provide an image of the surroundings. These systems emit radio pulses that bounce off objects, and the reflected signals are then analyzed to determine the object’s distance and location. Modern radar systems […]
Radar technology relies on electromagnetic waves, which are the same type of waves used for light, radio, and microwaves. These waves are transmitted by the radar system and propagate through the air. When these waves encounter an object, they reflect back to the receiver. The radar system then analyzes these waves to calculate the distance […]
