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
