Duplexer is used to use common antenna for transmission & reception. It can indicate the range of target. The echo power received is useful for the indicating device. It requires comparatively higher transmitting power. The circuits used in this system are comparatively complicated
CW RADAR This system uses modulated or unmodulated continuous signals for transmission. Circulator is used or separate antennas are used for transmission & reception. Simple CW RADAR can not indicate the range. The doppler frequency shift of echo signal is useful for indication device. It uses lower transmitting power. The circuits are simpler
The performance is sometimes affected The performance is unaffected by by the stationary targets. stationary targets. It can not operate down to zero range. The possible r.max is higher. The performance is not affected by presence of number of targets Practically pulsed RADAR system are used more. Because the receiver is ON all times, it can operate down to zero range. The possible r.max is lower The system gets confused by persence of large number of targets. CW RADAR are used in some application only, so comparatively have less application.
One example of such RADAR application Application is in aircraft navigation for is the mapping of airport area. speed measurement
Q: What is a radar?
A: Radar is acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging. It uses electromagnetic waves in microwave region to detect location (range & direction), height (altitude), intensity (in case of weather systems) and movement of moving and non-moving targets.
