Transmitted power

From Glossary of Meteorology



transmitted power[edit | edit source]

In radar, the power that is transmitted from the antenna into space.

For a pulsed radar, the peak power transmitted is usually much higher than the average power transmitted. The ratio of the average power to the peak power equals the duty cycle, which is the product of the pulse duration and the PRF.
Compare received power.


In radar, the time-averaged power transmitted by an antenna into space.
