Ground Radar

Question 1

With long range radars, what are the properties of:
1-the frequencies
2-wavelengths
3-PRF
4-pulses
5-range and attenuation

Answer 1

1-lower frequencies
2-longer wavelengths, 10-20cm
3-lower PRF
4-larger pulses
5-greater range, less attenuation

Question 2

With short range radars, what are the properties of:
1-frequencies
2-wavelengths
3-PRF
4-pulses
5-range, resolution and accuracy

Answer 2

1-high frequencies
2-short wavelengths - 3cm
3-high PRF
4-short pulses
5-low min range, better resolution, greater accuracy

Question 3

What does SSR provide

Answer 3

Range, bearing, Altitude and identity of a/c
