What is the millimeter wave radar?

Millimeter wave (mmWave) is a special class of radar technology that uses short- wavelength electromagnetic waves . Radar systems transmit electromagnetic wave signals that objects in their path then reflect. By capturing the reflected signal, a radar system can determine the range, velocity and angle of the objects.

How does a radar detect frequency?

The reflected radar signal is measured by the radar’s receiver with a change in frequency . That frequency shift is directly related to the motion of the raindrops. When a storm is stationary, the transmitted energy and the reflected energy or “echo” will not change, as shown below.
