How Does Pulse Width Affect A Radar's Range?

In this short video, we explain how the duration of a radar signal, known as pulse width, affects the radar's range. Long pulses can introduce distortions like droop, which can significantly affect radar performance. This is especially true for radar systems that rely on long pulse width signals. Watch the video below to learn how maintaining waveform fidelity is important and what its role is in optimizing radar range.
