  2. Electric fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fence

    Typically, these fences are 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) tall and send high voltage electric pulses through the palisade at a frequency of 1 Hz (one pulse per second). Palisade electric fences are used in most countries, particularly where there is little vegetation to short-circuit the fence or where the costs of security personnel are high in ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Pulse width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_width

    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. Increasing the pulse width increases the amount of energy reflected off the target and thereby increases the range at which an object can be detected. Radars measure range based on the ...

  5. 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.

  6. Rectangular function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_function

    Plot of normalized ⁡ function (i.e. ⁡ ()) with its spectral frequency components.. The unitary Fourier transforms of the rectangular function are [2] ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ (), using ordinary frequency f, where is the normalized form [10] of the sinc function and ⁡ = ⁡ (/) / = ⁡ (/), using angular frequency , where is the unnormalized form of the sinc function.

  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]

  8. Ambiguity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_function

    A commonly used radar or sonar pulse is the linear frequency modulated (LFM) pulse (or "chirp"). It has the advantage of greater bandwidth while keeping the pulse duration short and envelope constant. A constant envelope LFM pulse has an ambiguity function similar to that of the square pulse, except that it is skewed in the delay-Doppler plane ...

  9. AN/FPS-16 Instrumentation Radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/FPS-16_Instrumentation...

    The transponder receives coded or single pulse interrogation from ground stations and transmits a single-pulse reply in the same frequency band. A common antenna is used for receiving and transmitting. The transponder consists of five functional systems: superheterodyne receiver, decoder, modulator, transmitter, and power supply.
