Radar Technology I

The course familiarizes students with the basic principles and history of radiolocation. He / she will explain the methods of radio positioning, the use of coordinate systems for positioning, the method of target detection, the distinguishing of target characters, the methods and extent of displaying the processed results. Emphasis is placed on the systems: Primary Radar (PSR), Secondary Radar (MSSR), Precision Landing Radar (PAR) and ADSB. In these systems, the principle of operation at the level of individual blocks, the basic mathematical description of their function and a brief description of the system design will be explained. Students will learn the physics of radar signal propagation and the way of their processing. Part of the course is an excursion in a company that actively manufactures radar technology.
