Pulse Radar Explained | How Radar Works | Part 2

We're continuing on in this series on radar with a discussion on radars can find a target's range. Periodically turning off the transmitter and listening for echoes let's us do this. In this video we'll discuss how that works.

Make sure you've watched Radar 101 before this video.

For further learning I recommend this lecture series:

Amazing video. Simple, concise, precise explanation of a complex subject.

Just a video idea, I would be very interested in a series covering "SEAD, DEAD, CAP, CAS, ...." all of those words and how those missions are carried out. I want to learn what they are and how they work, and what is expected to be done in them. There is information everywhere but i dont have the experience to comprehensively compile it myself.

Sir what is the main difference of radar waves and pulse.I mean pulse is not an electromagnetic wave ?

[clearmind]

And when a station sends out, a pulse at Wat at the same time as another station, and when these pulses overlap in that specific area. Any weather will be magnified. Exponentially and a ring will appear in the sky from the particles. Being excited, just ask Joplin, Missouri.

Feel like I'm back in "A" school again :)
