    Radar/Antenna Engineering - Tapering

    Okay, I misunderstood. My apologies. In this case, I would agree with that, so there is definitely an influence on the SNR.

    Physics Question of "Temporal Wavenumbers"

    One of my classes borught up the notion of a "temporal wavenumber", which I'm trying to understand. To me, it sound like the frequency, but asking for more clarification, my instructor provided this reponse: "Consider a time-space signal. FT wrt time gives omega-domain (omega-space domain, to...

    Radar/Antenna Engineering - Tapering

    So, are you saying there is no impact on the SNR? Antenna gain would be the directivity gain minus the internal losses of the antenna, and directivity gain does not depend on SNR (mostly just the radar rnage equation)

    Radar/Antenna Engineering - Tapering

    I have a general question regarding antenna tapering. As I understand it, antenna taping can decreases sidelobes and increase the width of the mainlobe. However, does antenna tapering impact the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of a radar system?
