Calculator Usage Guide

The Radar Target Gain Factor Calculator is used to calculate the gain factor of a radar target. The gain factor is a measure of how effectively a target reflects radar waves and is influenced by the target's physical dimensions, height, width, and the operating frequency of the radar.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the target height in meters.
  2. Enter the target width in meters.
  3. Enter the operating frequency of the radar in MHz.
  4. Enter the radar power in Watts.
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the gain factor.
  6. The result will be displayed in the "Gain Factor (GF)" field.

Working Principle

The gain factor is calculated using the formula:

Gain Factor (GF) = (4πRh) / (λ^2) * (Target Area)

Where:

  • GF = Gain Factor
  • R = Radar Range (meters)
  • h = Target Height (meters)
  • λ = Wavelength (meters)
  • Target Area = Target Height * Target Width (m^2)

The wavelength (λ) is calculated as the speed of light (c) divided by the operating frequency (f).
