Radar Antenna Height Formula Elements

Variables
Antenna Height
Antenna Height is the height of the antenna that it must be placed high above the ground in terms of the wavelength of the radio wave being transmitted.
Symbol: Ha
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Range Resolution
Range Resolution is the ability of radar system to distinguish between two or more targets on the same bearing but at different ranges.
Symbol: ΔR
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Range
Range refers to the distance between the radar antenna (or the radar system) and a target or object that reflects the radar signal.
Symbol: Ro
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Target Height
Target height is defined as the distance of a target above the Earth's surface (height above ground).
Symbol: Ht
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Radar Antenna Height?

Radar Antenna Height evaluator uses Antenna Height = (Range Resolution*Range)/(2*Target Height) to evaluate the Antenna Height, The Radar antenna height formula is defined as the ability to communicate over long distances generally requires a low radiation angle, meaning that an antenna must be placed high above the ground in terms of the wavelength of the radio wave being transmitted. Antenna Height is denoted by Ha symbol.

How to evaluate Radar Antenna Height using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Radar Antenna Height, enter Range Resolution (ΔR), Range (Ro) & Target Height (Ht) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Radar Antenna Height

What is the formula to find Radar Antenna Height?
The formula of Radar Antenna Height is expressed as Antenna Height = (Range Resolution*Range)/(2*Target Height). Here is an example- 225 = (9*40000)/(2*400).
How to calculate Radar Antenna Height?
With Range Resolution (ΔR), Range (Ro) & Target Height (Ht) we can find Radar Antenna Height using the formula - Antenna Height = (Range Resolution*Range)/(2*Target Height).
Can the Radar Antenna Height be negative?
No, the Radar Antenna Height, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Radar Antenna Height?
Radar Antenna Height is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Radar Antenna Height can be measured.
