A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the objects.

Radio waves from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.
