1 Describe the significance of radar development to the Allied victory in WWII. Identify the major advancements and the timeline leading to the deployment of these systems.
2 Using _ = c=f, where c is the speed of light, and f is the operating frequency, calculate the wavelength, _, of radar systems operating at L, S, and X-band, and compare to the dimension of common radar targets such as aircraft, ships, and automobiles.
3 Applying t = 2 r=c, where r is the range from the radar to the target, and c is the speed of light, calculate the round-trip time delay, t, for targets located at ranges of 100m, 1 km, and 100 km.
4 Describe the major differences between continuous wave and pulsed radar waveforms. Give examples of practical applications of each.
