Good answer but it is the frequency and not the speed of the radar pulse that changes. Higher frequency when hot aspect lower when cold I don’t think PD radars change between a pulse scan and then a Doppler scan as they should be able to have filters and process both from the same return

I think i found the answer. High prf is better at long range because it can transmit more energy and the max unambiguous range doesn’t seem to matter as there are ways of going around it or something

I just think it feels weird that high prf would be better at great ranges when there should be higher range ambiguity at high prf as I understand it

I have heard that medium prf should be better for cold and notching/flying sideways targets while hot targets are better for high prf. Why does the prf affect that because when I read about prf and watch some lectures on radar and prf I don’t see how it changes detection of targets with different aspects. Anyone who has worked with radars or just know why?

Does anyone know if the maneuverability advantage of the sparrow is big or just a small advantage? Will it make a difference most of the time?

Hi, I am thinking about buying the tomcat and is curious if there are any advantages that are big enough for you to use the aim 7 over the aim 54.
