Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A radar system operates with a pulse width of 0.2µs. How would increasing the pulse width to 1µs affect the detection of a target at 50 meters? Explain your answer considering minimum detectable range.

💡 Hint: Combine the Rmin formula with the increased pulse width effect.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a radar with a peak power of 100 kW and a pulse width of 0.5µs, calculate the average power output if the PRF is 2000 Hz. Discuss the significance of this average power in detection.

💡 Hint: Be cautious with unit conversions.
