EXAMPLE 14.16
Click any to open the MATLAB script solving this exercise. Run script to read question and calculate solution.
On 1st run, the exercise is solved and the results are stored in .mat file. Parameters can be modified to solve
exercise variations. MATLAB student licences are cheap and there is a type that does not even require to be
registered in any university or college. All comments welcome.
To download and install MATLAB as well as review help on specific commands click any MATLAB icon:

Ground radars control a more or less (depending on ground) circular perimeters. The same way that for any given radar specs, too fast, too low rcs targets
are missed, the transmitter power limits the furthest distance for detection. If an echo is produced by a target further away from the outer perimeter and
reaches receiver with enough signal power, such echo may cause false target within range: the target is beyond perimeter, but it shows up as if close
enough to be displayed on PPI.

PRF=1/Tr Pulse Repetition Frequency determines the unambiguous range of a radar.

Therefore it's immediate to see Rmax_unamb=c0/(2*PRF)

This is not the same as max range that the radar transmitter can reach for the receiver to detect a target.

No need for MATLAB script to solve this exercise.
