Lesson 1 Flashcards
What is the formula for frequency?
f = 1/T
What is the formula for period?
T = 1/f
What is the formula for wavelength?
lambda = c/f
What is the formula for pulse duration?
PD = T x n
What is the formula for pulse repetition frequency?
PRF = 1/PRP
What is the formula for pulse repetition period?
PRP = 1/PRF
What is the formula for intensity?
I = P/A
What is the relationship between intensity and amplitude?
I = Amp ^2
Doppler effect
Change in frequency caused by the motion of a source, reflector or receiver
Doppler shift
Quantification of the change in frequency
What happens to the frequency as you get closer?
It increases
What happens to the frequency as you get farther?
It decreases
What kind of doppler shift do you get if you move closer?
Positive shift
What kind of doppler shift do you get if you move farther?
Negative shift
What do we do in doppler? (3)
- Fire a particular frequency
- Measure the frequency that returns
- Figure out the Doppler shift
