Radio Detection and Ranging (Radar) pulsed radio transmission and reception to identify entities based on their velocity, distance, angle, and other parameters. They are used in mission-critical applications such as defense, aerospace, ships, spacecraft, and so on. A radar system senses bounced RF electromagnetic signals received from a target to gather information about the target entity. The received signals are interpreted in various ways such as pulse repetition frequency, pulse width, and so on.
