Richardson RFPD employs more RF engineers than any global distributor. By offering deep technical expertise to support the latest products from the leading suppliers in RF & Wireless and Energy Technologies, we are uniquely positioned to help customers meet the challenges of changing markets.
The basic principle of radar operation is simple to understand. A radar system transmits electromagnetic energy and analyzes the energy reflected back to it (by an object). Designing a radar system, on the other hand, is very complex. The implementation and operation of any radar system involves a wide range of disciplines such as structures, mechanical and electrical engineering, high power microwave engineering, and advanced high speed signal and data processing techniques.
