Calculate Radar Range













Formula

The formula to calculate the Radar Range is:

\[ R = \sqrt{\frac{P_t \cdot G_t \cdot G_r \cdot \lambda^2 \cdot \sigma}{4 \cdot \pi^3 \cdot R^4 \cdot L}} \]

What is Radar Range?

A radar range is a term used in radar technology to denote the maximum distance at which a radar system can reliably detect and track a target. This range is determined by several factors including the power of the transmitted signal, the size and shape of the target, the sensitivity of the radar receiver, and the characteristics of the environment, such as weather conditions and the presence of other objects that might cause interference.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R = \sqrt{\frac{1000 \cdot 30 \cdot 30 \cdot 0.03^2 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot \pi^3 \cdot 1000^4 \cdot 1}} = 2.56*10^-6 \text{ meters} \]

The Radar Range is 2.56*10^-6 meters.
