Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are working with a radar system utilizing Swerling I for a large aircraft. Calculate how much SNR you would need compared to a non-fluctuating target for a desired Pd of 0.9.

💡 Hint: Consult radar performance literature.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you alter your radar system to account for Swerling II but keep the transmission power the same, how does your detection capability change?

💡 Hint: Think about averaging strengths over pulses.
