Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A radar system operates with a peak power of 500 kW and a Duty Cycle of 0.01. Calculate average power.

💡 Hint: Plug values into the average power formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a radar system must detect targets up to 600 km away with a minimum requirement for Duty Cycle, discuss how you would select appropriate PRF and pulse width.

💡 Hint: Consider how times relate to distance!
