Radar Range Equation

• Antenna Gain [G]

  • Focusing effect versus omni-directional antenna

• Antenna Aperture [Ae] affected by

  • Carrier frequency
  • Antenna physical size
  • Antenna construction

• Peak power (Pt) and minimum discernible signal (Smin) can be influenced by maintenance

Point out that the factors that can be controlled are Peak power and Minimum Discernalbe Signal, both of which will be demonstrated.
