'''Radar astronomy''' is a technique of observing nearby astronomical objects by reflecting [[microwave]]s off target objects and analyzing the reflections. This research has been conducted for six decades. Radar astronomy differs from [[radio astronomy]] in that the latter is a passive observation and the former an active one. Radar systems have been used for a wide range of solar system studies. The radar transmission may either be pulsed or continuous.
