No, Germans were ahead on all aspects of radar by miles.. Robert Watson-Watt was not the inventor of radar, as is commonly believed..Also the Cavity magnetron was invented by Germans Hans Erich (Eric) Hollmann in 1935 ,filed a patent in 1936 long before the Brits and granted a patent in 1938 ..Birmingham university scientists Randall and Boot simply worked on this.. Hitler didn’t support the Project because German military considered the frequency drift of Hollman’s device to be undesirable, and based their radar systems on the klystron instead but klystrons could not at that time achieve the high power output that magnetrons eventually reached..Even after Battle of Britain Churchill firmly believed German radar technology was ahead ...The only advantage of the British was that Germans failed to recognise the significance of the Chain Home system...
