FUNDAMENTALS OF MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RADAR SYSTEMS
Related Papers
Nnaemeka Nweke
Radar (acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging) is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves that bounce off any object in their path. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna that is usually located at the same site as the transmitter.

Radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) is widely used in both commercial and military applications. Air traffic control, mapping of ground contours and automotive traffic enforcement are just a couple civilian applications. Radar is ubiquitous in military applications being used in aircraft, missiles, ships, tanks, helicopters, ground stations, and more. Radar frequency bands Radar systems transmit electromagnetic, or radio waves. The reflected radio waves can be detected by the radar system receiver. The frequency of the radio waves used depends upon the radar application and are commonly classified according to Table 1. The required antenna size is proportional to wavelength and therefore inversely proportional to frequency. The ability of the radar to focus the radiated and received energy in a narrow region is also dependent upon both antenna size and frequency choice. A larger antenna allows the beam to be more tightly focused at a given frequency. The " focusing " ability of the antenna is often described using an antenna lobe diagram (see Figure 1), which plots the directional gain of an antenna over the azimuth (side to side) and elevation (up and down). Most airborne radars operate between the L and Ka bands, also known as the microware region. Many short range targeting radars, such as on a tank or helicopter, operate in the millimeter band. Many long range ground based operate at UHF or lower frequencies, due to the ability to use large antennas and minimal atmospheric attenuation and ambient noise. Table 1. Radar bands, frequencies, and wavelengths
IOSR Journals
RADAR can be defined as the electromagnetic system that senses, detects, and locates the objects that are present within the ambience. The word stands for Radio Detection and Ranging. The term was used in for the first time in the year 1940 by the US navy. During that time, the system was designed to transmit electromagnetic wave and detect the reflected signal. The operations attributed to the Radar were specifically for the detection and transmission of electromagnetic wave and reflected signals respectively. However, prior to 1940, the early development of the radar ensured the detection of an existing target and provision of its distance measurement from a specific location. In the Second World War, the Radar was used to give different notifications pertaining to the approach of a hostile aircraft. It also used for routing aircraft weapons to be used for the Second World War. In the modern times, the radar system has a lot of applications and uses. It can be used for the extraction of important information from reflected source. This paper examines a radar system, its problems and solutions. It also gives the outline of the principles used in the radar technology and applications such as air traffic control, climate and disaster monitoring.

Radio detection and ranging, that is, RADAR is a radio wave technique to determine the range, altitude, direction of objects. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves which bounces off any object in their path. It works by launching a short pulse at the ear audible frequency, after that microcontroller listens for echoes. The information about the distance to the object is given at the time elapsed during transmission to the echo reception. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna which is usually located at same site as the transmitter. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels.

Brief Microwave History • Marconi (early 20th century) • parabolic antenna to demonstrate wireless telegraphic communications • tried to commercialize radio at low frequency • Lord Rayleigh (1897) • showed mathematically that EM wave propagation possible in waveguides • George Southworth (1930) • showed waveguides capable of small bandwidth transmission for high powers Hope Foundation’s International Institute of Information Technology, I²IT, P-14 Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjawadi, Pune - 411 057 Tel - +91 20 22933441 / 2 / 3 | Website - www.isquareit.edu.in ; Email - [email protected]
Brief Microwave History • R.H. and S.F. Varian (1937) • development of the klystron • MIT Radiation Laboratory (WWII) • radiation lab series - classic writings • Development of transistor (1950’s) • Development of Microwave Integrated Circuits • microwave circuit on a chip • microstrip lines • Satellites, wireless communications, ...

Advantages of Microwaves • Increased bandwidth availability • More bandwidth can be realized at higher frequencies. Bandwidth is critically important because available frequency bands in the electromagnetic spectrum are being rapidly depleted. • Microwave signals travel by line of sight are not bent by the ionosphere as are lower frequency signals and thus satellite and terrestrial communication links with very high capacities are possible. • Effective reflection area (radar cross section) of a radar target is proportional to the target’s electrical size. Thus generally microwave frequencies are preferred for radar systems.

22 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills in the Workplace
Improving your communication skills in the workplace and your personal life includes verbal and non-verbal communication. Follow these 22 tips for improving your communication skills, from body language to eye contact to active listening skills.
Communication skills are essential to positive professional and personal relationships. You use communication skills when you interact with your family, present at work, or address a problem with your boss.
While it’s easy to think of communication simply as talking, there’s more to it. Everything from your facial expressions and word choice to presentation graphics and tone of voice plays a part in communication. Learn the critical areas for improving your communication skills and 22 helpful tips for becoming a more effective communicator.
What are communication skills, and why are they important?
We communicate any time we transfer information from one place to another via voice, written words, visuals, or non-verbal gestures. We use our communication skills in various ways: conversations, emails, written documents, presentations, and visuals like graphics or charts.
Communication skills are essential, especially in the workplace, because they can:
Improve your relationships with your manager and co-workers
Build connections with customers
Help you convey your point quickly and clearly
Enhance your professional image
Encourage active listening and open-mindedness
Help advance your career
4 types of communication
Becoming a better communicator often means focusing on improving in each of the four main areas of communication. This means focusing on listening skills and non-verbal communication, practising emotional awareness, building empathy and professionalism, and developing questioning skills. Let's take a closer look at each area.
1. Listening skills
To communicate well, you need to listen. Give a person your full attention, hear what they’re saying verbally and non-verbally, and consider their thoughts. As an active listener, you can develop strategies that help you ask follow-up questions and gain clarity on someone’s thoughts.
2. Non-verbal communication
The message a person communicates isn’t just spoken. It’s non-verbal, too. To improve communication, you need to pay attention to your and the other person's body language, tone of voice, eye contact, posture, and facial expressions. Verbal communication and body language must be in sync to convey a message.
3. Emotional awareness
Improving communication means working towards emotional intelligence or a keen understanding of your emotions and those around you. You need to identify emotional situations, be aware of your feelings, show empathy, and keep your feelings in check.
4. Questioning skills
To create a two-way flow of communication, it’s important to develop questioning skills. When communicating with someone, ask brief questions to clarify the conversation’s main points.
Why communication matters at work: 5 key stats
Research provides a snapshot of employee perspectives on communication in the workplace. Consider these facts [ 1 ]:
1. The pandemic increased the number of remote workers, and in turn, 33 percent of employees now find communication more of a struggle.
2. Only 20 percent of workers say their business is efficient due to a lack of communication.
3. As many as 65 percent of workers say they waste time in meetings.
4. Poor communication is cited as the cause of 35 percent of businesses losing an employee.
5. Most employees—95 percent—say their business could improve its communication skills.
22 ways to improve your communication skills in the workplace
Communicating effectively in the workplace is a practised skill. While communication comes naturally to some, everyone can improve their workplace communication skills. To do so, you need to understand the importance of listening, monitor non-verbal communication, elevate your verbal communication, enhance your written communication, and spend some time on visual communication. These 22 tips provide actionable steps you can take to improve all areas of workplace communication.
1. Prepare what you’re going to say.
If you’re presenting an idea or having a meaningful talk with your supervisor, take some time to prepare what you’ll say. Organising your thoughts should make your conversation more transparent and lead to a more productive interaction.
2. Simplify and stay on message.
Proofread and eliminate anything that strays from your message as you prepare your thoughts. One of the best ways to improve communication is to create concise and transparent conversations, emails, and presentations.
3. Record yourself communicating.
Use your smartphone to record yourself giving a presentation or practising a tough conversation you need to have with a teammate about their lack of participation. Review the recording and look for places to improve.
4. Engage your listeners.
Keep your listeners engaged in the conversation. Effective communicators ask questions and encourage participation. An interactive discussion is an ideal way to keep everyone’s attention.
5. Take time to respond.
Take time to create a thoughtful response. Often, you feel obligated to respond quickly, but it’s important to take a moment to compose your thoughts so you can have a meaningful conversation.
6. Make sure you understand.
Before you end the conversation, please take a moment to ask a few follow-up questions and then recap the conversation. You'll be able to finish by explaining the next actionable steps.
7. Work on your body language.
Keep a straight posture, avoid slouching, and use natural hand gestures when you speak. Make eye contact with everyone who’s listening to you. Moving around the room, too, can be helpful when space allows. It can help listeners feel more included.
8. Maintain eye contact.
During a conversation or presentation, try to hold a person’s gaze in four- to five-second intervals before looking at another person. You can also use natural hand gestures while you speak, which can help you feel more confident and look people in the eye.
9. Be respectful.
When you finish communicating, you want your audience to feel you've respected their needs, and they, in turn, will more likely form respect for you. To earn that respect, thank them for their time, keep your presentation within its set time frame, and keep your jokes appropriate and to a minimum.
10. Make communication a priority.
Elevating your communication skills is something to work on every day. Consider making a communication to-do list with a few things you’d like to work on for the day, like recognising body language, asking follow-up questions, or practising active listening.
Aligning with your core values can help you communicate more effectively. The University of Pennsylvania's Achieving Personal and Professional Success Specialisation is designed to introduce tools and techniques for achieving success at home and work.
11. Learn to manage your emotions.
In a professional setting, keeping your emotions in check is necessary. If you have trouble managing your feelings, take a moment for a few deep breaths before speaking or writing an email. Take a moment alone at your desk or a break outside when possible.
12. Prioritise workplace skills.
Workplace skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and time management can also enhance communication. These skills require listening, patience, and organisation, which all play a role in sound communication.
13. Get rid of conversation fillers.
To aid in your conversational improvement, work to eliminate fillers like “um” and “ah.” Start listening for these fillers so you can use them less and convey more confidence when you speak. Often, these phrases fill the silence, which is a natural part of the conversation, so try to embrace it rather than fill it.
14. Have a plan for small talk.
Small talk is its conversation challenge. To inspire, focus on topics included in the FORD method: family, occupation, recreation, and dreams.
15. Tell a story.
When you can, include stories in your communication. A story helps keep your audience engaged and makes it easier for people to relate to the topic.
16. Ask questions and summarise the other person's main points.
Part of being an active listener is asking relevant questions and repeating pieces of the conversation to show that you understand a point. Listening makes communication a two-way street.
17. Be receptive to feedback.
As you’re working to improve your communication skills, ask for feedback and be receptive to it. Asking your colleagues for feedback can help you pinpoint challenges and demonstrate a commitment to your job. Try incorporating the feedback into your next chat, brainstorming session, or video conference.
18. Be ready for different answers.
Listen without judgement. That’s the goal of every conversation, but especially if you hear responses that are unexpected or different than you anticipate. Listen to the person openly, be mindful of your body language, and don’t interrupt.
19. Put away distractions.
Communicating well means being fully present. Put away anything that can distract you, like your phone or tablet. It shows others that you’re respectfully listening and helps you respond thoughtfully to the conversation.
20. Tailor your message to your audience.
Your communication should change based on your audience. Just as you personalise an email, personalise all of your communications. For example, your message, tone, and body language should be authentic yet adapted if you’re talking with your manager instead of an intern.
21. Be brief yet specific.
Use the acronym BRIEF (background, reason, information, end, follow-up) to help guide your conversation. Think of it as a conversation outline meant to keep you on track.
22. Up your empathy.
Consider the feelings of others as you speak with them. Part of having a meaningful conversation is being empathetic to others. If you try to put yourself in their shoes, you can better understand how to help.
