Radar systems often use pulse signals, where a short burst of energy is emitted and then reflected back from objects. The time it takes for the pulse to return helps determine the distance to the target. The duration and frequency of radar pulses can affect the radar’s ability to detect targets. Short pulses provide better resolution, while longer pulses offer greater range. By adjusting the pulse rate and duration, radar systems can optimize their detection capabilities for different environments, ensuring reliable performance in both open waters and cluttered, busy areas.
