Radar Systems:
Military systems: Radar is used for detecting and locating air, ground,
and seagoing targets; missile guidance and fire control.
Commercial systems: air traffic control, motion detectors, vehicle
collision avoidance, and distance measurement.
Scientific applications: weather prediction, remote sensing of the
asmosphere, the oceans, and the ground; medical diagnostics and
therapy (use microwave radiometry, which is the passive sensing of
microwave energy emitted from an object).
