DETECTION RANGE OF AN ACTIVE RADAR SEEKER
Abstract
This report analyses the effect of various factors on the detection range of an active radar seeker. The factors considered include thosewhich define the performance of a seeker, such as size of the search pattern, range and angular resolution, range of possible target velocities(with respect to the seeker), target closing velocity, target echoing area, false alarm time, anti probability of detection} and constants describingthe seeker such as average transmitted power, wavelength, dish size, pulse repetition rate, pulse width, scan time, I-f and a-f bandwidth, and number or range gates and velocity channels.
