The corner reflector is a passive device used to directly reflect radio waves back toward the emission source. Therefore, the corner reflector is a useful device for radar system calibration. In general, the corner reflector consists of mutually intersected perpendicular plates. The commonly seen corner reflectors are dihedral and trihedral.While the dihedral corner reflector is sensitive to its m...read more

The unambiguous range of a radar is the maximum range at which a target can be located so as to guarantee that the reflected signal/pulse from that target corresponds to the most recent transmitted pulse. The radar range is measured by the time delay between pulse transmission and reception. It is Usually assumed that the received pulse is associated with the most recent transmitted pulse. Targets...read more
