[′rā‚där ‚rānj] (electromagnetism) The maximum distance at which a radar set is ordinarily effective in detecting objects .
Read moreHow does radar measure range?
The radar sensor measures distances, movements, and velocity. The sensor calculates the distance to an object by measuring the reflection of a high-frequency signal from that object . The transmitted signal is reflected by buildings, liquids, and so on.

Disadvantages:
Read moreWhat is continuous wave radar used for?
The Radar, which operates with continuous signal (wave) for detecting non-stationary targets , is called Continuous Wave Radar or simply CW Radar. This Radar requires two Antennas. Among which, one Antenna is used for transmitting the signal and the other Antenna is used for receiving the signal.
Read moreWhat is the principle of CW radar?
Principle of Operation. As opposed to pulsed radar systems, continuous wave (CW) radar systems emit electromagnetic radiation at all times . Conventional CW radar cannot measure range because there is no basis for the measurement of the time delay.
Read moreWhat is the difference between pulse radar and continuous wave radar?
Pulsed signals remain powered for short periods of time, working with and without some form of modulation, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase modulation. CW signals remain on constantly and may be modulated to function as radars or in communications systems.
