Fraunhofer-GesellschaftPhotorealistic aerial images, high-precision measurement of satellite orbits, a look beneath the Earth's surface, presentation of the air situation through the utilization of TV and radio stations – these are just a few examples of the remarkable capabilities of radar. Due to its unique capabilities – independence from weather and daylight, high distance range, high sensitivity to range rate changes and the generation of high resolution images – radar is now an indispensable tool for military and civilian applications.
Terahertz technology is capable of separating plastics (of the same color) according to type so that they can be recycled more efficiently.
