 PULSE TRANSMISSION
 CONTINUOUS WAVE
 Pulse Width (PW)
 Length or duration of a given pulse
 Pulse Repetition Time (PRT=1/PRF)
 PRT is time from beginning of one pulse to the beginning of
the next
 PRF is frequency at which consecutive pulses are
transmitted.
 PW can determine the radar’s minimum detection range; PW
can determine the radar’s masimum detection range , PW can
determine the radar’s minimum range resolution.
 PRF can determine the radar’s maximum detection range.
Faster PRF means greater accuracy!
PRT Carrier Freq.

Time

PW PRT=1/PRF
 Employs continual
RADAR transmission

 Separate transmit and


receive antennas

 Relies on the
“DOPPLER SHIFT”
Motion Away:
Echo Frequency Decreases

Motion Towards:
Echo Frequency Increases
 Signal Reception  Signal-to-noise ratio
 Receiver Bandwidth  Receiver Sensitivity
 Pulse Shape  Pulse Compression
 Power Relation  Scan Rate
 Beam Width
 Mechanical
 Pulse Repetition  Electronic

 Antenna Gain  Carrier Frequency
 Radar Cross Section of  Antenna aperture

 Signal Reception
 Signal-to-Noise Ratio
 Receiver Bandwidth
 Receiver Sensitivity
 Pulse Shape
 Pulse Width
 Pulse Compression
 Pulse Power
 Two Basic Purposes:
 Radiates RF Energy
 Provides Beam Forming and Focus

 Must Be 1/2 of the Wave Length for the


maximum wave length employed
 Wide Beam pattern for Search, Narrow for
Track
 Paraboloid - Conical Scan used for fire control -
can be CW or Pulse
 Orange Peel Paraboliod - Usually CW and
primarily for fire control
 Parabolic Cylinder - Wide search beam -
generally larger and used for long-range search
applications - Pulse
