UNIT 7 AN INTRODUCTION TO RADAR
22/8/14 Topic Details Indroduction to RADAR Basic RADAR Simple form of RADAR Equation RADAR Block Diagram RADAR Frequencies Applications of RADAR Origin of RADAR
22/8/14 Basic RADAR RADAR is an electromagnetic System for detection and location of reflecting objects such as aircrafts,ships RADAR stand for Radio Detection and Ranging
22/8/14 Simple Form Of RADAR Equation Radar Range Equation R max = [P t G б A e /( 4П) 2 Smin] 1/4 G = 4ПAe / λ 2 A e = Gλ 2 / 4П R max = [Pt Gλ 2 б / (4П) 2 S min] 1/4 Where Pr = power received Pt = power transmitted G = antenna gain б = radar cross section of target A e = effective area
