Application of Vector Analysis

1. Application of Vector Analysis on study of illuminated area and Doppler

characteristics of airborne pulse radar
In airborne pulse radar, some problems, especially the tasks involving
geometry relationships, are difficult to solve by the scalar tool. However, as
discussed in the proposed approach, the parameter results can be derived
expediently and naturally by the vector method. From the discussion in the above
sections, it can be seen that with the vector method, the time-space relationships,
such as the expression of the echo signals, the illuminated area, and the Doppler
characteristic distribution are obtained intuitively. Furthermore, the analysis results
with the vector method can be applied in radar parameter calculation and SAR
imaging. So, vector analysis is effective for airborne pulse radar parameter setting
and solving and airborne pulse radar signal processing tasks.

11. A good application for vector analysis is the calculation of an airplane's flight
path. This requires knowing the magnitude and direction of both the plane's thrust,
as well as that of the prevailing winds acting on the plane.
If a plane is trying to fly to an airstrip 50 miles north of its current location, and it is
travelling at 100 mph, a person might assume the plane would arrive in 30 minutes
if the pilot pointed the plane due north. But if the plane had a prevailing wind from
the west blowing at 10 miles per hour, it would end up 5 miles to the east of the
airport, as the wind has blown the airplane off course. Think of the plane's speed
and direction as vector A, and the wind's speed and direction as vector B. Add them
head to foot, then draw a line from the plane's starting point to the end of vector B.
This is the actual location of the plane. Winds blowing at the plane from the front
are called headwinds, while winds from the back of the plane are called tailwinds.
All winds from any direction are calculated as vectors, and these vectors affect
aircraft courses and require consistent course correction.
