A primary radar has a pulse


repetition frequency of 275 pps. The
time interval between the leading
edges of successive pulses is:

3.64 milliseconds.

36.4 milliseconds.

3.64 microseconds.

36.4 microseconds.
The factor which determines the
maximum range of a radar is:

pulse repetition rate

pulse width

power

beamwidth

An echo is received from a target


900 microseconds after the pulse
was transmitted. The range to the
target is:

73 nm

270 nm

135 nm

146 nm
To improve the resolution of a radar
display requires:

a narrow pulse width and a narrow


beam width

a high frequency and a large reBector

a wide beamwidth and a wide pulse


width

a low frequency and a narrow pulse


width

If the PRF of a primary radar is 500


pulses per second, the maximum
range will be:

324 nm

300 nm

162 nm

600 nm
A radar is required to have a
maximum range of 100 nm. What is
the maximum PRF that will achieve
this?

1620 pps

1234 pps

617 pps

810 pss

A primary radar system has a pulse


repetition frequency of 450 pps,
ignoring pulse width and fly back at
the CRT, the maximum range of the
radar would be:

333 nm

180 nm

666 nm

360 nm

Correct answer

180 nm
The time between the transmission
of a pulse and the reception of the
echo from a target is 1720
microseconds. What is the range of
the target?

139 km

258 km

278 km

516 km

If the PRI of a radar is 2100


microseconds, the maximum range
of the radar is:

170 nm

315 nm

340 nm

630 nm
An advantage of a phased array
(slotted antenna) is:

better resolution

b. less power required

c. reduced sidelobes and clutter

A radar required to pick up an object


at 300 kms should have

2000 micro seconds PRP

2000 PRF

1000 micro seconds PRP

Correct answer

2000 micro seconds PRP

To double the range of a primary


radar would require the power to be
increased by a factor of:

16
An a/c at FL 360 at 10 nms plan
range the DME will read

9.50 nms

11.6 nms

13.6 nms

The use of Doppler techniques to


discriminate between aircraft and
fixed objects results in second trace
returns being generated. These are
removed by:

using a different frequency for


transmission and reception

jittering the PRF

making regular changes in pulsewidth

limiting the power output of the radar


The factor which limits the minimum
detection range of a radar is:

pulse repetition interval

transmitter power

pulse width

pulse repetition frequency

A radar with 400 PRF can pick up a


target at a maximum distance of

375 meters

375 kms

750 kms

Correct answer

375 kms
A radar is designed to have a max
range of 12kms. Maximum PRF
would be

25000PPS

6700PPS

12500PPS

13400PPS

The nearest object a radar of 200


PRP and 10 micro seconds PW can
pick up is

1500 kms

1.5 kms

1.5nms

The bearing of a primary radar is


measured by:

phase comparison

searchlight principle

lobe comparison

DF techniques
The main advantage of continuous
wave radars is:

No maximum range limitation

Better range resolution

No minimum range limitation
