How to measure distance from radar signal?

Synopsis

One topic in SBEU 1032 is the Microwave Measurement and Sensing. Basic microwave requires basics in mathematics – algebra, calculus and statistics plus fundamental of physics such as wave and optics.

Fundamental of radar is based on the relationship between the speed of light and the delay time of reception and transmission signal.

Basic Radar Equation

To compute the distance, the time delay must be determined from the difference between the time at trailing edge and leading edge of the discrete signal function.

Trailing and leading edges for computing the distance using radar profile.
