[′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.
Read moreWhat is the maximum range of radar?
Therefore, the maximum range of Radar for given specifications is 158KM .
Read moreHow far can radar detect?
This permits target detection at distances from about 500 to 2,000 nautical miles (900 to 3,700 km) . Thus, an HF over-the-horizon (OTH) radar can detect aircraft at distances up to 10 times that of a ground-based microwave air-surveillance radar, whose range is limited by the curvature of the Earth.
