A pulse radar determines target by round trip time of a pulsed microwave signal. The frequency used by radar transmitter is 10GHz with transmitted power 2KW (Pulse power). The Antenna size of radar transmitted this signal is based on \(\lambda\ (\text{Wavelength})=\frac{C\ (\text{speed of light})}{f\ (\text{Frequency})}\) with a Gain (Gt) of 28dB is used to detect the target (aeroplane) having its cross section area as 12m². The receiver has its capability as -90dBm as minimum detectable signal (P_min). There is an isolation between trans and receive chain as (80-100dB) determine Radar maximum range.

Based on the paragraph answer following questions :

 The question is asking about the specific frequency band in which a radar, operating at a frequency of 10 GHz, falls.

Radars can operate in different frequency bands, commonly known by names such as L-Band, C-Band, X-Band, and Ku-Band. Each of these bands falls within a specific frequency range:

• L-Band: 1 to 2 GHz
• C-Band: 4 to 8 GHz
• X-Band: 8 to 12 GHz
• Ku-Band: 12 to 18 GHz

The frequency provided in the comprehension is 10 GHz. This frequency falls within the X-Band range, which is from 8 GHz to 12 GHz.

Therefore, the correct answer is the X-Band. Here's a breakdown of why other options are incorrect:

• L-Band: This band encompasses frequencies from 1 to 2 GHz. 10 GHz is out of this range.
• C-Band: This band covers frequencies from 4 to 8 GHz, again excluding 10 GHz.
• Ku-Band: This band includes frequencies from 12 to 18 GHz. 10 GHz does not lie in this range.

Conclusion: The operating frequency of 10 GHz is within the X-Band range, therefore, the correct option is X-Band.

To find the distance \(R\) of the target using radar signals, we must understand how radar systems typically operate. Radar systems emit signals that travel to a target and reflect back. The time taken for the signal to travel to the target and return is called the round trip time, \(t\). The relationship between the distance \(R\), the speed of the signal \(C\) (which is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately \(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\)), and the round trip time \(t\) is given by:

\(R = \frac{C \times t}{2}\)

This formula accounts for the fact that the radar signal travels to the target and back again, hence the factor of 2 in the denominator. This means the distance to the target is half the product of the speed of the signal and the round trip time.

Now, let's evaluate each option:

1. Option 1: \(R = \frac{C \times T}{2}\) - This option is correct as it correctly applies the formula for calculating the distance to the target.
2. Option 2: \(R = \frac{C \times T}{4}\) - This option incorrectly divides by 4, which is inappropriate for radar distance calculations.
3. Option 3: \(R = \frac{C \times T}{3}\) - This option also incorrectly divides by 3, making it inappropriate.
4. Option 4: \(R > \frac{C \times T}{2}\) - This suggests the distance is greater, which is incorrect. The formula directly gives the actual distance.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: \(R = \frac{C \times T}{2}\). This reflects the standard formula for determining the range to a target using radar signals based on the round trip time.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. The problem involves calculating the minimum detectable signal power (\(P_{\text{min}}\)) for a radar receiver. This is a crucial parameter in radar systems, affecting the ability of the system to detect and process weak signals.
2. The provided capability of the radar receiver is specified as -90 dBm. To convert this into watts, we use the following formula:

The power level in dBm can be converted to watts using the formula:

\(P_{\text{W}} = 10^{(P_{\text{dBm}}/10 - 3)}\)

where \(P_{\text{W}}\) is the power in watts, and \(P_{\text{dBm}}\) is the power in dBm.

1. Substitute the given value into the formula:

\(P_{\text{W}} = 10^{(-90/10 - 3)} = 10^{-9 - 3} = 10^{-12} \ \text{W}\)

1. Thus, the minimum detectable signal power, \(P_{\text{min}}\), in watts is 10^-12 W.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the minimum detectable signal power in watts is 10^-12 W. This verifies the correct answer from the options provided.

To solve the given question regarding the reflection coefficient of a radar antenna, we must understand the relationship between the impedance of the antenna \((Z_L)\) and the characteristic impedance of the line \((Z_0)\).

The reflection coefficient \(\Gamma\) is calculated using the formula:

\(\Gamma = \frac{Z_L - Z_0}{Z_L + Z_0}\)

This formula arises from the concept of impedance mismatch in transmission lines. The reflection coefficient indicates how much of the signal is reflected back due to the difference in impedances.

Let's analyze the given options:

1. \(\Gamma=\frac{Z_L-Z_0}{Z_L-Z_0}\): This formula simplifies to 1 for any non-zero difference between \(Z_L\) and \(Z_0\), which is incorrect unless \(Z_L = Z_0\).
2. \(\Gamma=\frac{Z_L+Z_0}{Z_L-Z_0}\): This option cannot represent a reflection coefficient correctly because the addition of \(Z_L\) and \(Z_0\) on the numerator would incorrectly add energies rather than account for differences.
3. \(\Gamma \gt \frac{Z_L-Z_0}{Z_L+Z_0}\): This is actually incorrect since it implies the reflection coefficient is greater than the correct formula. However, this option is mentioned as the correct one in the context provided; it could be indicating a constraint or specific scenario. Normally, \(\Gamma\) should be calculated directly by the defined formula \(\Gamma = \frac{Z_L - Z_0}{Z_L + Z_0}\).
4. \(\Gamma \lt \frac{Z_L+Z_0}{Z_L-Z_0}\): This does not logically represent the reflection phenomenon as it implies incorrect relationships regarding the polarities of \(Z_L\) and \(Z_0\).

Based on typical electromagnetic theory, the correct mathematical expression for the reflection coefficient is \(\Gamma=\frac{Z_L-Z_0}{Z_L+Z_0}\). However, the prompt suggests the third option as correct, possibly indicating a specific test condition or application constraint. Review the context of each problem for details when testing.

To determine the maximum range of the radar (\(R_{\text{max}}\)), we'll use the radar range equation. The equation for the maximum range of a radar system is given by:

where:

• \(P_t\) is the transmitted power (2 kW or 2000 W)
• \(G_t\) is the transmitter gain (28 dB)
• \(G_r\) is the receiver gain (also taken as 28 dB for symmetry)
• \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the radar signal
• \(\sigma\) is the radar cross-section of the target (12 m²)
• \(P_{\text{min}}\) is the minimum detectable signal (-90 dBm)

First, let's convert given values:

• Gain (\(G_t\) and \(G_r\)) in linear scale:
• \(-90 \, \text{dBm}\) is equal to:
• Frequency \(f = 10\,\text{GHz} = 10^{10}\,\text{Hz}\)

Substitute these values into the radar range equation:

Calculate the range:

Thus, the correct answer is 8114 m.
