Here is how the Target Height equation looks like.

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

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

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

Target Height Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Target Height?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

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

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

H t = \frac{9m \cdot 40000m}{2 \cdot 450m}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

H t = \frac{9 \cdot 40000}{2 \cdot 450}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

H t = 400m

Variables

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 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

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

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Range

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.

Go Range of Target

R t = \frac{[c] \cdot T run}{2}

Go Measured Runtime

T run = 2 \cdot \frac{R t}{[c]}

Go Maximum Unambiguous Range

R un = \frac{[c] \cdot T pulse}{2}

Go Pulse Repetition Time

T pulse = \frac{2 \cdot R un}{[c]}

How to Evaluate Target Height?

Target Height evaluator uses Target Height = (Range Resolution*Range)/(2*Antenna Height) to evaluate the Target Height, The Target height formula is defined as the distance of a target above the Earth's surface (height above ground). The height can be calculated from the target distance R and the elevation angle ε. Target Height is denoted by H_t symbol.

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

FAQs on Target Height

What is the formula to find Target Height?

The formula of Target Height is expressed as Target Height = (Range Resolution*Range)/(2*Antenna Height). Here is an example- 400 = (9*40000)/(2*450).

How to calculate Target Height?

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

Can the Target Height be negative?

Yes, the Target Height, measured in Length can be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Target Height?

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