4 A ground based radar operates at 3cm. The radar transmitter using an L3 CO1
antenna of gain 50dB Produces 100kW. The receiver minimum
detectable signal is Smin = 10"W. The maximum radar range is given as
259km. Find the cross section of the target the radar can detect.

influencing the maximum range of the radar
7 A 10 GHz Radar has the following characteristics: Peak transmitter L3 CO1

be used to detect a target of 2m equivalent cross section, find the
following: i) Maximum possible range ii) Unambiguous range iii) Duty
cycle iv) Average power
