Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist Third Edition

Symbols

a

= Radius of the sphere, meters; Dimension of the square, meters

A

= Physical area of the antenna, meters; Phasor amplitude, volts; Effective aperture area, square meters; Effective intercept area of the target, square meters

A( y)

= Current distribution in the y-z plane

A c

= Area of the clutter intercepted by the radar pulse, square meters

A e

= Effective area of the receive antenna, meters; Effective area of the antenna, meters; Electromagnetic area of the object as seen by the radar, square meters

a nt

= Radius of the nose tip, meters

B

= Entire phase progression across the array, radians

B

= Receiver filter bandwidth, hertz; Number of different phase shifts, no units

B j

= Jammer noise bandwidth, hertz

B RWR

= RWR bandwidth, hertz

c

= Speed of light, 3 10 8 meters/second

C( f)

= Clutter voltage frequency domain

C 0

= Clutter amplitude

C CR

= Clutter cancellation ratio

d

= Array element spacing, meters; Physical distance between ar ray elements, meters; Diameter of the cylinder, meters; Physical length of the antenna, meters

D

= Antenna length, meters; Length of the ar ray, meters; Dimension of the object, meters; Synthetic aperture length, meters

dB

= Decibel, no units

dBm

= Decibels relative to one milliwatt, car ries the units of milliwatts

dBsm

= Decibels...
