Derive the fundamental form of radar range equation. Discuss the factors affecting the maximum radar range What are limitation of simple radar range equations. Describe working of pulse radar with the help of block diagram. Discuss the parameter on which maximum range depends. Describe chief characteristics of the radar echo from target when its radar cross section is in the range (a) Rayleigh region (b) resonance region (c) Optical region What are important applications of radar also describe frequency band used for various applications What is the peak power of a radar whose average power is 200 W , Pulse width (PW) is 1 sec and has PRF of 1000 Hz Also calculate the range , if it to detect a target with a radar cross section area of 2 m2 when it operates at a frequency of 2.9 GHz with a rectangular shape antenna that is 5 m wide and 2.7 m height, antenna aperture efficiency 0.6 and minimum detectable signal10 -12 W A radar system transmit pulses of duration 2 sec and repetition rate of 1 KHz. Find the minimum and maximum range for radar Explain the importance of false alarm probability and pulse detection probability and discuss the role of integration of pulse how it affects the maximum range What is Doppler effect? Derive an expression for Doppler frequency shift in terms of relative velocity of target with respect to radar Describe the Coherent MTI radar with the help of block diagram. What is need of COHO & STALO? What is blind speed in MTI radar? Why phase array antennas are more suitable for radar application particularly at VHF and UHF frequencies Explain the working FMCW radar with the help of block diagram. How it overcomes the limitations of Pulse radar and Doppler radar A CW radar transmit frequency 10 GHz and Doppler frequency is 1000 Hz. Calculate the radial velocity of the target A loop antenna consists of 10 turns of wire. Loop is tuned and output voltage is 100times the induced voltage. It is required that loop output be at least 100 v when field strength of wave is 10v/m at frequency of 300kHz Suggest suitable dimension of loop
