(i) pulse length (ii) pulse recurrence frequency

Q10. Ignoring pulse length, the maximum pulse repetition frequency (PRF) that can be used by a primary radar facility to detect targets unambiguously to a range of 200 NM is:

405 pps

Q11. For a parabolic reflector to make a narrow beam

The size must be large compared to the wavelength

Q12. The maximum range of primary radar depends on:

pulse recurrence frequency

Q13. In a primary radar system

All radio frequency energy is produced by the radar located at the radar site

16

Q15. In relation to radar systems that use pulse technology, the term ‘Pulse Recurrence Rate (PRR)’ signifies the:

number of pulses per second

Q16. In a primary radar the maximum range requires

High pulse effect and long PRI
