MODULE A- INTRODUCTION TO RADAR<br />
The <strong>radar</strong> equati<strong>on</strong> for a point target is simply given below:<br />
Radar Equati<strong>on</strong> For Distributed Targets<br />
Thus far, we've derived the <strong>radar</strong> equati<strong>on</strong> for a point target. This is enough if you are interested<br />
in point targets such as airplanes. However, in a thunderstorm or some area of precipitati<strong>on</strong>, we<br />
do not have just <strong>on</strong>e target (e.g., raindrop), we have many. Thus we need to derive the <strong>radar</strong><br />
equati<strong>on</strong> for distributed targets. So let’s review the Radar Pulse Volume.<br />
Radar Pulse Volume<br />
First, let's simplify the real beam according to the Figure 1.2.15:<br />

What does a "three-dimensi<strong>on</strong>al" segment of the <strong>radar</strong> beam look like<br />
