What is the distance in nautical miles to a target if it takes 308.5 microseconds for the RADAR pulse to travel from the RADAR antenna to the target and back.
ā¢ Radar range formula based on time for the pulse to travel to the target and back ā¢ Conversion between microseconds and seconds ā¢ Speed of radio waves/radar pulses is approximately the speed of light in meters per second, and then converting meters to nautical miles
ā¢ How do you find the one-way distance to the target if the time given is for the pulse to go to the target and back? ā¢ Once you compute the distance in meters using time and speed, how do you convert meters to nautical miles? ā¢ After you calculate the approximate range, which of the answer choices is closest to your result?
ā¢ Be sure you divide the round-trip time by 2 to get the one-way travel time to the target. ā¢ Confirm the conversion: 1 nautical mile ā 1852 meters. ā¢ Carefully convert microseconds to seconds before using the speed of light in m/s.
