Its a cat and mouse game between airplanes and radars.

Radars are usually arrays of small radars now that can move the beam without even moving, chirp the frequecy and do all sorts of weird things. I wrote OS software to help control them years ago, which was interesting.

its an interesting exercise in signal processing. there are lots of books on the subject: And hey! my radar made a cover.

I think radar is absolutely fascinating. I work in a different RF field but sometimes I wish I got drawn into that instead.
