How does a pulse Doppler radar work?

Doppler radar

By measuring the shift (or change) in phase between a transmitted pulse and a received echo, the target's movement directly toward or away from the radar is calculated. This then provides a velocity along the direction the radar is pointing, called radial velocity.

Is pulse radar and pulse Doppler the same?

A form of pulse radar that uses the Doppler frequency shift to eliminate stationary clutter is called either a moving-target indication (MTI) radar or a pulse Doppler radar, depending on the particular parameters of the signal waveform.

What are the uses of Doppler radar?

Doppler radar can be used in speed cameras, radar guns, warfare, and for weather forecasting. In weather forecasting, we can use it to measure the speed of rain clouds, the rotation of rain clouds, and the severity of rainfall. This information is valuable in predicting the weather.
