Microwave radars, also called X-band radars, which are limited by line-of-sight propagation to the horizon. Due to the large available bandwidth in the microwave frequency range, the spatial resolution can be as fine as 5 m at 5 km working range .

1 X-Band Radar. … X-band is a segment of the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum , within the frequency range 8–12 GHz. The images produced by marine radars detect not only hard targets such as ships and coastlines, but also reflections from the sea surface, known as ‘sea clutter’ [23].
