Understanding Radar Resolution: How Radars Distinguish Targets

Have you ever wondered how radar systems can differentiate between multiple targets that are close together? Imagine yourself on a busy highway, observing cars in various lanes, moving at different speeds, and located at different distances. Radars face a similar challenge: they must determine not just how far away each target is, but also their position in space and their velocity.

In this exploration, we'll delve into the three fundamental aspects of radar resolution—range, angle, and velocity—and discuss how improving one often involves trade-offs with the others. Whether you're a student, engineer, or enthusiast, understanding these principles provides insight into the sophisticated dance of RF engineering.
