Radar it means “radio detection and ranging”. That is to say, radio method is used to find targets and determine their spatial positions. Therefore, radar is also known as “radio positioning”. Radar is an electronic device that detects targets by means of electromagnetic waves. Radar emits electromagnetic wave to illuminate the target and receives its echo. From this, the information of distance,range change rate (radial velocity), azimuth and altitude from the target to the emitter of electromagnetic wave can be obtained.

Radar control makes control work active.With the development of global science and technology, especially electronic information technology, the reliability, coverage and cost-effectiveness ofCivil Aviation Radar have been greatly improved. Radar has become an important tool for air traffic control. The position, altitude, speed and other important data of the aircraft are analyzed and integrated to display accurately.Controllers can grasp the flight dynamics of each aircraft in real time and command the flight in a planned way. The generation of radar control makes the control work change from passive to active.

Both visible light and radio waves are essentially the same thing. They are electromagnetic waves. The speed of propagation in vacuum is the speed of light C. The difference lies in their respective frequencies and wavelengths. The principle is that the transmitter of radar equipment transmits the energy of electromagnetic wave to a certain direction in space through antenna, and the object in this direction reflects the electromagnetic wave it encounters; the radar antenna receives the reflected wave and sends it to the receiving equipment for processing, extracting some information about the object (distance between the target object and the radar, distance change) Rate or radial velocity, azimuth, height, etc.

We can control traffic in the same way.Check the speed and position of each vehicle. Through radar, we can be used in AI vehicles, people do not need to drive at all. AI systems plan route and control speed and avoid obstacles in real time through radar and the detection system on the vehicle. The advantage of radar is that it can detect long-range targets day and night, and is not obstructed by fog, cloud and rain. It has the characteristics of all-weather and all-time, and has certain penetration ability. Radar targeting the ground can detect the precise shape of the ground. Its spatial resolution can reach several to tens of meters, and is independent of distance. And according to the latest radar results, accurate positioning is quite reliable, so it can reduce traffic congestion and avoid traffic accidents.
