🔍 Key Concepts

• Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplifier purpose in a RADAR receiver • Difference between logarithmic and linear amplification • Meaning of dynamic range in receiver design

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when very strong and very weak echo signals arrive at the receiver at nearly the same time. Which type of amplifier handles that situation better? • Which type of amplifier tends to compress large signals so weaker ones can still be noticed and displayed? • Ask yourself: what is the main design advantage of using a log response instead of a straight-line (linear) response?

✅ Before You Answer

• Review how a logarithmic amplifier responds to changes in input level compared to a linear amplifier. • Consider which choice best describes the ability to handle both very weak and very strong signals without distortion or loss of information. • Make sure the option you pick matches a system-level advantage (overall receiver performance), not just a small circuit convenience like easy alignment.
