Radar Equations
R2026bRadar equations for searching and tracking, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) form of
the radar equation, signal-to-noise ratio versus range plot, probability of detection
versus range plot
Compute the maximum detectable range, SNR versus range, peak-power versus required SNR, minimum power-aperture product versus SNR.
