Equation 7: Maximum Unambiguous Range in terms of Pulse Repetition Frequency

Equation 7.  Maximum Unambiguous Range, in terms of PRF.  Click for long description.

Where:

Rmax = maximum unambiguous range

c = speed of light (~3 x 108 ms-1)

PRF = pulse repetition frequency (s-1)


Equation 7 is an alternate form of Equation 6, which is an alternate way to compute the maximum unambiguous range, Rmax. Rmax can be determined by dividing the speed of light (c) by 2 times the pulse repetition frequency (PRF).
