radar dish
Rotating detection bowl
A radar dish is a large, typically bowl-shaped antenna that transmits and receives radio waves for radar systems.
The curved surface focuses electromagnetic signals, enabling detection of aircraft, weather patterns, ships, or other distant objects.
Radar dishes appear at airports, military installations, and weather stations: The radar dish rotated slowly atop the control tower.
