shares in principle the advantages and limitations of all radar-based
systems when compared to other sensing technologies. In general, it can reliably detect most
objects in most environmental conditions such as dirt, dust, rain, snow, sun, fog, darkness,
acoustic noise, mechanical vibration, electromagnetic noise or similar.
However, there are some occasions when an object could stay undetected. Radar works on
the principle of line of sight and relies on some of the electromagnetic energy transmitted by
the sensor being reflected back from the object to the sensor. If an object does not reflect
enough electromagnetic energy back to the sensor it will not be detected.
