The parameters of radar systems are divided into two categories: tactical and technical

The parameters that characterize the area of action are:

maximum distance from discovery

minimum angle and maximum elevation angle

minimum and maximum height of discovery

radius of the dead cone

The minimum height of discovery is dependent on the minimum angle of the directivity characteristic

A technical feature is the separation capability or resolution

In order to be possible the reflection of the survey signals from the targets, it is necessary that the wavelength is smaller or comparable to the dimensions of the targets
