Examples of radar in the following topics:
-
- This frequency range is used for most radar transmitters, microwave ovens, wireless LANs, cell phones, satellite communication, microwave radio relay links, and numerous short range terrestrial data links.
- Radar, first developed in World War II, is a common application of microwaves.
- By detecting and timing microwave echoes, radar systems can determine the distance to objects as diverse as clouds and aircraft.
- A Doppler shift in the radar echo can determine the speed of a car or the intensity of a rainstorm.
- Sophisticated radar systems can map the Earth and other planets, with a resolution limited by wavelength.
-
- These include: radio broadcasting, broadcast television, two-way radio, communications receivers, radar, cell phones, and satellite communications; as well as other devices such as garage door openers, wireless microphones, bluetooth enabled devices, wireless computer networks, baby monitors, and RFID tags on merchandise.

- ., light) and used in modern technology—AM and FM radio, cordless and cellular phones, garage door openers, wireless networks, radar, microwave ovens, etc.
-
- Another method of detecting this type of turbulence is ultrasound, used as a medical indicator in a process analogous to Doppler-shift radar (used to detect storms).
-
- The magnetron has practical applications in radar, heating (as the primary component of a microwave oven), and lighting.
-
- Artificially generated radio waves are used for fixed and mobile radio communication, broadcasting, radar and other navigation systems, communications satellites, computer networks and innumerable other applications.
