6. (801) Which type of radar system can only detect objects that are approaching or moving away from the receiver?
- A.
Beacon.
- B.
Frequency-shift.
- C.
Pulse-modulation.
- D.
Frequency-modulation.
Correct Answer
B. Frequency-shift.Explanation
Frequency-shift radar systems can only detect objects that are approaching or moving away from the receiver. This is because frequency-shift radar relies on the Doppler effect, which measures the change in frequency of the radar signal as it reflects off a moving object. By analyzing the change in frequency, the radar system can determine the speed and direction of the object. Therefore, frequency-shift radar is not able to detect objects that are stationary or moving perpendicular to the radar beam.Rate this question:

7. (802) In a pulse-modulation radar system, a high pulse repetition frequency radar limits range by
- A.
Using less power.
- B.
Using more power.
- C.
Shortening the listening time.
- D.
Lengthening the listening time.
Correct Answer
C. Shortening the listening time.Explanation
In a pulse-modulation radar system, the range is limited by shortening the listening time. This means that the radar system reduces the time it spends listening for the return signal after transmitting a pulse. By shortening the listening time, the radar system can increase the pulse repetition frequency, allowing for more pulses to be transmitted within a given time period. This increases the system's ability to detect targets at shorter ranges. Using less power or more power would not directly impact the range limitation, and lengthening the listening time would actually decrease the pulse repetition frequency and therefore limit the range even further.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Receiver.Explanation
In a pulse-modulation radar system, the transmitter sends a small amount of energy to the receiver for use as a time reference. This is because the receiver needs to accurately measure the time it takes for the transmitted pulse to return after bouncing off a target. By using the energy sent by the transmitter as a time reference, the receiver can accurately calculate the distance to the target based on the time it takes for the pulse to return. Therefore, the correct answer is receiver.Rate this question:

12. (802) The maximum range of a pulse-modulation radar system primarily depends on
- A.
Pulse shape.
- B.
Power in the pulse.
- C.
Pulse recurrence time.
- D.
Pulse repetition frequency.
Correct Answer
B. Power in the pulse.Explanation
The maximum range of a pulse-modulation radar system primarily depends on the power in the pulse. This is because the power in the pulse determines the strength of the radar signal that is transmitted and received by the system. A higher power in the pulse allows the radar signal to travel a greater distance before it becomes too weak to be detected. Therefore, increasing the power in the pulse increases the maximum range of the radar system.Rate this question:

13. (803) In a frequency-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver and an aircraft when the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency?
- A.
They are a constant distance away from each other.
- B.
The aircraft is not reflecting any of the radar pulse.
- C.
The aircraft is flying towards the transmitter/receiver.
- D.
The aircraft is flying away from the transmitter/receiver.
Correct Answer
D. The aircraft is flying away from the transmitter/receiver.Explanation
When the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is moving away from the transmitter/receiver. This is because the frequency shift occurs due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the radar signal changes based on the relative motion between the radar system and the aircraft. A lower received frequency suggests that the aircraft is moving away from the radar system, causing the radar signal to be stretched and resulting in a lower frequency.Rate this question:

- B.
1.5 meters.
- C.
2.1 meters.
- D.
2.7 meters.
Correct Answer
C. 2.1 meters.Explanation
The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, so as the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. In this question, the operating frequency is given as 100 MHz and the wavelength is given as three meters. Since the frequency determining wall of the waveguide is the distance between two points where the wave is in phase, it can be determined by dividing the wavelength by two.
