16. Peak voltage of the target blip (0.

9 m) =900 mV

17. Peak voltage of the target blip (1.8m) =350 mV

Increasing the target range causes the target echo amplitude to decrease.

20. The range separation of the two targets is approximately 17 cm.

The pulse width Ϯ of the transmitted signal is presently 1 ns. The theoretical range resolution is
equal to one half the pulse length;

Range resolution = Lp/2

= Ϯc/2

=(1x10-9 s x 3x108 ms-1)/2

=15 cm

This is approximately equal to the range separation of the two targets when they are virtually
unresolved.

21. The width of each blip increases until the two targets are unresolved.

Increasing the pulse width deteriorates the range resolution of a pulsed radar.
