  2. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

  3. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Radar transmission frequency spectrum of a cosine pulse profile. Similarly, the use of a cosine pulse profile has an even more marked effect, with the amplitude of the sidelobes practically becoming negligible. The main lobe is again increased in amplitude and the sidelobes correspondingly reduced, giving a significant improvement in performance.

  4. Range gate pull-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_gate_pull-off

    The effectiveness of the pull-off can be reduced if the radar changes its pulse repetition frequency, thereby making it difficult for the transponder to continue smoothly delaying the fake signal. Frequency agility has the same effect, as the transponder cannot guess what frequency to send out the fake signals on until it hears the one from the ...

  5. Ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_resolution

    Areas outside the blue zones are blind ranges and blind velocities, which are filled in using multiple PRF and frequency agility. The unambiguous zone is in the lower left corner. All of the other blocks have ambiguous range or ambiguous radial velocity. Pulse Doppler radar relies on medium pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from about 3 kHz to ...

  6. Pulse width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_width

    Pulse width is an important measure in radar systems. Radars transmit pulses of radio frequency energy out of an antenna and then listen for their reflection off of target objects. The amount of energy that is returned to the radar receiver is a function of the peak energy of the pulse, the pulse width, and the pulse repetition frequency.

  7. Range ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_ambiguity_resolution

    Range ambiguity resolution is a technique used with medium pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) radar to obtain range information for distances that exceed the distance between transmit pulses. This signal processing technique is required with pulse-Doppler radar. [1] [2] [3]

  9. Pulse-per-second signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-per-second_signal

    A pulse per second (PPS or 1PPS) is an electrical signal that has a width of less than one second and a sharply rising or abruptly falling edge that accurately repeats once per second. PPS signals are output by radio beacons, frequency standards , other types of precision oscillators and some GPS receivers.
