Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What does the Null Hypothesis (H0) represent in radar detection?

💡 Hint: Think about what it means when there is no signal.

Question 2 Easy

Identify one consequence of a Type I Error.

💡 Hint: Consider what it means to incorrectly identify something.

Question 1

What does H0 in hypothesis testing represent?

The presence of a target
Only noise is present
Signal and noise together

💡 Hint: Remember, H0 is about absence.

Question 2

What occurs when the threshold is increased?

False alarms decrease
True detections increase

💡 Hint: Consider how strict thresholds impact detection.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a radar system with specific thresholds that minimizes both Type I and Type II errors. Discuss the trade-offs involved.

💡 Hint: Consider deploying different test conditions or simulation environments.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a dataset of radar returns and identify how variations in noise impact Pfa and Pd when adjusting the detection threshold.

💡 Hint: Look at Gaussian distributions for insights.
