Abstract
Radar detection technology utilizes radio waves for target detection, localization, and identification. It involves emitting electromagnetic waves and receiving the reflected echoes from targets, then analyzing the echo characteristics to obtain target information. This paper focuses on the fundamental principles, advantages, and disadvantages of radar detection technology. It emphasizes synthetic aperture radar (SAR), passive radar detection technology seeker, and millimeter-wave active homing guidance target identification technology, as well as the characteristics and development status of other detection methods such as phased array radar, showcasing the multi-directional development trend of radar detection technology.
