Compute the duty cycle, average transmitted power, pulse energy
and pulse repetition frequency of Radar wave
Task 01:
For a pulsed radar with PRF of 200 Hz and 750 Hz; what are the corresponding PRIs?
Matlab Code:
t=-0.005:0.00005:0.005;
fr1=200;
fr2=750;
pri1=1/fr1;
pri2=1/fr2;
sig1=0;
sig2=0;
for x=(1:2:1000);
A1=(1/x)*sin(2*pi*x*fr1*t);
A2=(1/x)*sin(2*pi*x*fr2*t);
sig1=sig1+A1;
sig2=sig2+A2;
end
range=[-1 1 -1 1];
subplot(1,2,1);
plot(t,sig1);
xlabel('time');
ylabel('amplitude');
subplot(1,2,2);
plot(t,sig2);
xlabel('time');
ylabel('amplitude');

Task 02:
For the same radar in Problem 1.1, assume a duty cycle of 30% and peak power of 5KW.
Compute the average power and the amount of radiated energy during the first 20ms.

Matlab Code:
dt=30/100; %duty cycle=30%
Pt=5000;
T=20*10^(-3);
Pav=Pt*dt
Ep=Pav*T

Task 02
A certain airborne pulsed radar has peak power Pt = 10KW, and uses two PRFs, fr1 = 10
KHz and fr2 = 30 KHz. What are the required pulse widths for each PRF so that the
average transmitted power is constant and is equal to 1500Watts? Compute the pulse
energy in each case.

Matlab Code:
pt=10*10^(3);
fr1=10*10^(3);
fr2=30*10^(3);
pav=1500
tau1=pav/(fr1*pt)
tau2=pav/(fr2*pt)
Ep1=pt*tau1
Ep2=pt*tau2
t=-0.001:0.00001:0.001;
sig1=0;
sig2=0;
for x=(1:2:500)

A1=(1/x)*sin(pi*x*fr1*t);

A2=(1/x)*sin(pi*x*fr2*t);
sig1=sig1+A1;
sig2=sig2+A2;
end
subplot(1,2,1);
plot(t,sig1);
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude)');
subplot(1,2,2);
plot(t,sig2)
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude)');

Observation:
In this lab, I learned to compute the duty cycle, average transmitted power, pulse energy and
pulse repetition frequency of a Radar wave. Radar waves with different frequencies and pulse
repetition intervals are given. I have calculated their different parameters and also have plotted
their rectangular shaped radar pulses.
