How is the target detected in a tracking radar?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The detection of targets in tracking radar systems involves the transmission of short pulses of RF energy at a specific frequency, known as the Pulse Repetition Rate (PRR). A PRR of 300 microseconds corresponds to a detection range of approximately 300 miles. During the intervals between these pulses, the radar receiver actively listens for return signals that indicate the presence of a target within its range. These return signals appear at a consistent location on the radar display, allowing for effective tracking of the target's movement.
