Relatively high temperatures cause an increase in molecular motion as a result of weaker hydrogen bonding and a reduction in the tetrahedral geometry which in turn leads to depolarisation. Therefore a reduction in temperature aids the radar efficiency in several ways, increases the dielectric constant, reduces the velocity of the EM wave and reduces the effect of molecular vibration as a result of stronger bonds causing a reduction in depolarisation i.e. more efficient polarisation.
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.
