Fairview Microwave's Radar Maximum Range Calculator produces an ideal maximum range of a radar antenna using the properties of the antenna.
Radar Max Range is determined, ideally speaking, on the properties of the antenna only. A signal at a certain frequency is transmitted, reflected, then hopefully, detected. Due to the three-dimensional propagation of radar waves, frequency hold the highest weight in determining range. Often, power consumption and range must be balanced for maximum usability.
**Note: All of our calculators allow SI prefix input. For example, if you wish to input "25000000", just type "25M" instead. See the quick-reference table below for all compatible SI prefixes.
