Multi-static Radar - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Defense

A radar system with a transmitter and several receivers all separated. A special case is bi-static radar. An advantage of multi-static radar over mono-static radar is that even if transmitters, which might be detected by the enemy when operating, are attacked, receivers in other locations might not be noticed and might thereby escape attack.
