Range Resolution is the ability of radar system to distinguish between two or more targets on the same bearing but at different ranges. Check FAQs

ΔR = \frac{2 \cdot H a \cdot H t}{R o}

ΔR - Range Resolution?H_a - Antenna Height?H_t - Target Height?R_o - Range?

Here is how the Range Resolution equation looks like.

9 = \frac{2 \cdot 450 \cdot 400}{40000}

9m = \frac{2 \cdot 450m \cdot 400m}{40000m}

9 = \frac{2 \cdot 450 \cdot 400}{40000}

Range Resolution Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Range Resolution?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

ΔR = \frac{2 \cdot H a \cdot H t}{R o}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

ΔR = \frac{2 \cdot 450m \cdot 400m}{40000m}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

ΔR = \frac{2 \cdot 450 \cdot 400}{40000}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

ΔR = 9m

Variables

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.

Formulas to find Range Resolution

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: H_a

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Antenna Height

Target Height

Target height is defined as the distance of a target above the Earth's surface (height above ground).

Symbol: H_t

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Target Height

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: R_o

How to Evaluate Range Resolution?

Range Resolution evaluator uses Range Resolution = (2*Antenna Height*Target Height)/Range to evaluate the Range Resolution, The Range resolution formula is defined as the ability of radar system to distinguish between two or more targets on the same bearing but at different ranges. The degree of range resolution depends on the width of the transmitted pulse, the types and sizes of targets, and the efficiency of the receiver and indicator. Range Resolution is denoted by ΔR symbol.

How to evaluate Range Resolution using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Range Resolution, enter Antenna Height (H_a), Target Height (H_t) & Range (R_o) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Range Resolution

What is the formula to find Range Resolution?

The formula of Range Resolution is expressed as Range Resolution = (2*Antenna Height*Target Height)/Range. Here is an example- 18 = (2*450*400)/40000.

How to calculate Range Resolution?

With Antenna Height (H_a), Target Height (H_t) & Range (R_o) we can find Range Resolution using the formula - Range Resolution = (2*Antenna Height*Target Height)/Range.

Can the Range Resolution be negative?

No, the Range Resolution, measured in Length cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Range Resolution?

Range Resolution is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Range Resolution can be measured.
