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 listening time
- D.
Lengthening listening time
Correct Answer
C. Shortening listening timeExplanation
In a pulse-modulation radar system, a high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) means that the radar is transmitting pulses at a faster rate. This results in shorter listening times between pulses. When the listening time is shortened, the radar has less time to receive and process the returning echoes from targets. As a result, the radar's range is limited because it is unable to detect targets that are located further away. Therefore, shortening the listening time is the correct answer for how a high PRF radar limits range.Rate this question:
