FAQs on Range of Target

What is the formula to find Range of Target?
The formula of Range of Target is expressed as Target Range = ([c]*Measured Runtime)/2. Here is an example- 614.5745 = ([c]*1.932E-06)/2.
How to calculate Range of Target?
With Measured Runtime (Trun) we can find Range of Target using the formula - Target Range = ([c]*Measured Runtime)/2. This formula also uses Light speed in vacuum constant(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Target Range?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Target Range-
  • Target Range=((Transmitted Power*Transmitted Gain*Cross Section Area of Radar*Effective Area of Receiving Antenna)/(16*pi^2*Minimum Detectable Signal))^0.25OpenImg
Can the Range of Target be negative?
No, the Range of Target, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Range of Target?
Range of Target is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Range of Target can be measured.
