Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What happens to the frequency when a target moves towards the radar?

💡 Hint: Think about how wavefronts behave when objects come closer.

Question 2

Easy

Define radial velocity.

💡 Hint: Consider it as the component of total velocity in the line of sight.

Question 1

What is the Doppler Effect?

  • A technique for speeding vehicles
  • The change in frequency of a wave due to relative motion
  • A method of radar tracking

💡 Hint: Think of how a siren changes pitch as it approaches.

Question 2

True or False: A CW radar can accurately measure both radial velocity and distance to targets.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what you need to measure distance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A radar system transmits a signal of frequency 3 GHz and observes a Doppler shift of 1200 Hz from an approaching target. Calculate the radial velocity.

💡 Hint: Use the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength carefully.

Question 2

Discuss how using CW radar to detect an object moving at 30 m/s in a tangential direction would yield different data than it does with radial motion.

💡 Hint: Consider alternative methods for measuring movement.
