The expediency of using the radar method for detecting radiation contamination at long distances is substantiated in this article. The design of a radar for the detecting of small radioactive formations in the air at the long distances is developed. The dependence of the reflection coefficient of microwave radiation on the wavelength for determining the level of radioactive radiation is established. The investigation results of radioactive contamination in the atmosphere are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
