[DeTomaso] LPC: Radar in the rain

[Boyd Casey]

For the record SONAR isn't "underwater RADAR" .
RADAR and SONAR are both detection systems used to identify objects and
their position related parameters when they are at a distance and not
directly observable. RADAR stands for RAdio Detection and Ranging, and
SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging. Both detection systems use
the method for detection of the reflection of a transmitted signal. The
type of the signal used in the system makes all the difference; RADAR uses
radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves and SONAR uses acoustic or
sound waves, which are mechanical waves. Variety of applications and
differences in the operation of the systems are due to the restrictions
posed by the properties of these waves.

   For the record SONAR isn't "underwater RADAR" .
   RADAR and SONAR are both detection systems used to identify objects and

   SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging. Both detection systems
   use the method for detection of the reflection of a transmitted signal.
   The type of the signal used in the system makes all the difference;
   RADAR uses radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves and SONAR uses

   Tomas, to be honest I don't know. I thought that a laser gun had to be
   manually aimed at a car. Unfortunately I don't see what they use here -
   I
   just get the photo in the mail 30 days later :-(

   I know that the camera boxes use radar but does anyone use manually
   operated
   radar anymore? I thought they had all changed to laser guns.
