🔍 Key Concepts

• Dynamic range and how logarithmic receivers handle very weak and very strong signals • What it means for a receiver to be saturated versus damaged • Typical sensitivity requirements for marine RADAR receivers

💭 Think About

• Think about why a RADAR designer might choose a logarithmic receiver instead of a linear one. What problem is it solving? • Consider whether a receiver type would ever make a RADAR unusable, or whether it is actually chosen to improve performance under certain conditions. • Ask yourself: does using a logarithmic response usually increase or decrease the useful detection range for weak echoes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how logarithmic amplification affects the ability to process both strong and weak returns on a RADAR display. • Distinguish clearly between saturation (overload of the signal path) and physical damage to components. • Check whether marine RADARs generally aim for high or low sensitivity in their receiver design.
