Abstract

The concept of the range equation is understood as a mathematical dependence describing the influence of various parameters of the radar system (its energy potential), the RCS of the object and propagation conditions of the maximum distance (range) \(R_{\max }\) between the radar station and the object, at which the object is still detectable.
