Airborne radar, also known as Airborne Interception Radar or AI (Airborne Radar), is also known. It is a radar type that equips an aircraft for air-to–air missions. Multiple sensors are used to determine the location of a target. Airborne radar is used to detect aircraft and hostile missiles.
Doppler effect
When airborne radar receives a signal from a target, it will appear to increase in frequency if the target is moving away. The Doppler effect causes this effect. Doppler-frequency refers to radial speed. This frequency is commonly known as "normalized". This property allows radar to process echo signals from different radar frequencies in a common way.
Doppler Effect occurs when waves with different frequencies are redirected from an object that is moving. The wave that comes from the point source will be compressed in one direction while being expanded in the other. This effect is more noticeable when the object moves fast. The frequency of the sound at right angles to the motion is unaffected.
Ground Range
Ground ranging on airborne radar involves using a radar to detect objects on the ground. This technique is commonly used for military reconnaissance and terrain mapping. It is also used to carry out airborne research system and NASA. It can be applied for satellites including the Russian ALMAZ Satellite and the Japanese JERS-1 Satellit.
Ground ranging uses airborne radar to detect objects at the ground. The frequency used for this is dependent on the application. A radar with a larger frequency will have a smaller size.
Contouring
The best way to predict storms is by using airborne radar. However, there are some factors that you should know before deploying this powerful tool. These factors include your personal judgment, the season, and where you live. Avoid flying in an area with steep contours, for example.
Contour interpolation is the basic method of contouring an area. This method makes use of the redundancy inherent in natural terrain, and allows for a simpler way to calculate the height of terrain. It works much the same way as conventional topographic maps. Contour interpolation allows you to interpolate the heights of points in radar sweeps between the heights of contours immediately surrounding the point and other contours. You can find a continuum by interpolating the heights these contours.
Attenuation
Attenuation of airborne radio signals occurs on both their outward and backward paths. A C-band radar with a 60 dBZ reflection core would experience 10dBZ less signal strength on the outward route and 20dBZ less on the return. This would result in the reflectivity returns from precipitation farther away than actually being 20dBZ higher. However, the S band radar would encounter the same core and experience only 2dBZ intenuation.
Attenuation is an important part of radar technology. It is useful for meteorologists in identifying thunderstorms which may be hundreds of kilometers away. It can also produce radar scope shadows. This alerts airborne flight crews to potentially dangerous weather and terrain.
Reflection
Reflection happens when radar's electromagnetic pulses bounce of the target's surface. This is called specular reflection. The frequency of the echoes depends upon the antenna pattern, and the length the transmitted pulse. The phase of the echoes along the track also varies. The phase of the echos is zero at nadir. The phase of the echoes will change more depending on how far away the radar is from the target.
Conditions that affect airborne radar reflectivity can also have an impact on it. Radiator reflectivity increases towards the surface when it is warmer. High reflectivity conditions however tend to decrease toward surfaces.
