Information on Primary Radar
Primary radar systems receive reflections of their own
transmitted signals as returned signals from the target. The reflected
energy is used by the primary radar to
determine the target information. Conventionally, the term primary is dropped
when referring to primary radar systems as this
is considered the normal method of radar operation. The exception
to this convention comes when making a distinction between primary
radar systems and secondary radar systems.
There are
a three major types of primary radar; monostatic,
bi-static and multistatic radar
