Write radar range equation and state the factor affecting maximum range of radar.

1 Answer

Answer :

The Radar range equation is given by

image

The factors influencing maximum range are as follows

Transmitted power (Pt): if the radar range is to be doubled we have to increase a transmitted power by 16 times.

Frequency(f) : increase in frequency increase the range

Target cross sectional area(S). Radar cross sectional area of the target is not a controllable factor.

Minimum received signal (Pmin): A decrease in minimum receivable power will have the same effect has raising the transmuting power.
