Pulse Radar Basics

1. Conceptual Intuition (L1)

• Shout and wait for the echo.
• Time of flight = Distance ($R = c \Delta t / 2$).
• Pulse Width vs Listening Time.

2. Engineering Math (L2)

• The Radar Equation ($P_r \propto \frac{1}{R^4}$).
• Range Resolution ($\Delta R = c \tau / 2$).
• Max Unambiguous Range (PRI).

3. System Application (L3)

• Radar Cross Section (RCS) fundamentals.
• Swerling Target Models (Fluctuating targets).
• Pulse Compression (Chirps) basics.
