Step 1
The range resolution is given as R_umax = 10 km. The range resolution is given by the formula: R_res = c / (2 * B) where R_res is the range resolution, c is the speed of light, and B is the bandwidth of the radar signal. Since we want the range resolution to Show more…

Radar Range. The function given by $$R(x)=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt[4]{\frac{x \cdot 3.0 \times 10^{6}}{\pi^{2}}}$$ can be used to determine the maximum range $R(x),$ in miles, of an ARSR-3 surveillance radar with a peak power of $x$ watts. Determine the maximum radar range when the peak power is $5 \times 10^{4}$ watts.
