🔍 Key Concepts

• Pulse length and resolution in marine radar • Effect of pulse repetition rate (PRR) on detection • Relationship between target size, range resolution, and power

💭 Think About

• How does changing pulse length affect your ability to distinguish a small target from the background or nearby echoes? • What combination of pulse width and repetition rate gives the finest detail (best resolution) on the radar screen? • Is more power always better for detecting small targets, or can it sometimes reduce detail?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare short vs. long pulse effects on range resolution for small targets • Consider which setting gives the sharpest, most detailed echo rather than just the strongest echo • Check whether frequency band choice alone improves small-target detection as much as pulse characteristics do
