The pulse synchronization technique involves controlling and measuring the duration between the transmission of radar pulses and their reception. This technique is used to determine the distance to a target by calculating the time it takes for a pulse to travel to the target and return to the radar system.
Pulse time refers to the duration of each individual pulse transmitted by the radar. This is a critical parameter that affects the radar’s resolution and its ability to distinguish closely spaced targets. Shorter pulse times generally provide better resolution but may require higher power.
The pulse position method is a technique used in radar and communications systems where the position of a pulse on a fixed schedule transmits information. By varying the timing of the pulse in each time period, this method can encode data or improve target detection.
The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technique involves varying the width of pulses in a signal to encode information or control systems. In radar systems, PWM can be used to adjust the pulse duration for different measurement purposes or to modulate the transmitted signal.
The principle of PPM (pulse position modulation) involves varying the position of each pulse within a fixed time interval to encode information. Unlike PWM, which changes pulse width, PPM encodes data by shifting the pulse position within a predefined time interval, allowing data transmission or signal processing.
