"Weather radar uses micro-waves to scan for raindrops. Wherever it is raining the raindrops bounce the signal and by listening to the returning
pulse, the radar can compute the location and intensity of the rain."
And even these are not real R.A.D.A.R or MO molecular exitation
These kind of radars should be banned because they caused the "war of the gulf syndrom (desert storm)".
Hum..............
WHat was you doing in a NATO station ?
(I was sure he was under governement control... a true european cant be SO pro-USA)
Radar:
Acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging.
1. A
radio detection system that transmits short bursts (pulses) of rf energy and detects their echoes from objects (targets) such as aircraft
or ships. Note: The round-trip propagation time for the echo return may be used to determine the target's range (distance from the radar's
antenna).
If the transmitting antenna has a narrow beam (the usual case), the azimuth or elevation of the target may also be determined. Synonym primary
radar.
2. A radio detection device that provides information on range, azimuth, and/or elevation of objects. [JP 1-02]
3. A radiodetermination system based on the comparison of reference signals with radio signals reflected, or retransmitted, from the position to be
determined.

microwave (mw):
Loosely, an
electromagnetic wave having a wavelength from 300 mm to 10 mm (1 GHz to 30 GHz).
Note: Microwaves exhibit many of the properties usually associated with waves in the optical regime, e.g., they are easily concentrated into a beam.

Can you turn my microwave oven to a radio receiptor that can receive world wide emission ?!

Another thing :
You work for the governement ? What governement ? the black governement ? (Hoo, sorry the COLOURED GOVERNEMENT !
