What is pulsed radar used for?

Applications. Pulse radars are designed mainly for long distances . The main application is still the military area. Other applications include air traffic control, weather observation (especially precipitation radar) as well as the satellite-based remote sensing of the earth’s surface.

10.11. A pulse Doppler radar uses the Doppler shift to discriminate moving targets from stationary clutter . A low PRF radar has a long unambiguous range but results in blind speeds. On the contrary, a high PRF radar can avoid blind speeds but experiences ambiguity in range.
