Microwave radar promised to be small, lighter and more efficient than older types, Ramsey's group started with the design produced by Oliphant's team in Britain, and attempted to improve it.

During World War II he designed and made the first X-band microwave radar with 100 ns pulse and a one degree beam which directed the 15 " guns at Dover.

Among the devices that the group helped develop or test were the radar altimeter, the magnetic anomaly detector, the sonobuoy, improved airborne depth charges, long-range navigation systems, and airborne microwave radar.

Even though the Allied powers had superior radar technology, Stover said, the Germans were often able to detect it so, microwave radar was developed, which the Germans were unable to pick up.
45.
Before the end of the year, the Radiation Laboratory ( commonly called the Rad Lab ) was established in facilities at MIT with the primary purpose of consolidating development of microwave radar.
46.
Microwave radar, which required less physical space than its VHF predecessor, soon became the dominant feature in airborne applications; this required considerable attention be given to dish antennas and their mechanical drives.

The first Japanese warships with microwave radar received these in March 1942, and by late 1944, microwave radar was widely in use on surface vessels and submarines; about 300 Type 22 sets were built.

IV . In 1940 Bernard Lovell developed a solution for microwave radar by placing two sets of dipoles in front of a common parabolic dish and placing a disk of metal foil between them.

Their Magellan spacecraft finished mapping the surface of Venus with microwave radar last year, and their TOPEX / Poseidon satellite this year detected the Pacific Ocean warming that signals the arrival of the El Nino weather pattern.
