Choose the Jicamarca ISR in long pulse mode
Run for 24 hours during Jan. 1st at a 90 degree elevation using 60 seconds of integration
Determine how many seconds you can reduce the integration period to and still have less than 5% error at all times at altitudes of:
1500 km
1000 km
500 km
Describe what happens when the integration period gets short.
Move the Jicamarca radar to latitude 85, longitude 0 by switching to the virtual radar tool. You will need the following details about the Jicamarca ISR:
Freq: 49.92E6 Hz
Effective diameter: 329 m
Typical peak power: 2.0E6 W
Long pulse length: 1600.0E-6 seconds
Long pulse mode duty cycle: 0.038
Jan 1, 90 degree elevation.
Determine how many seconds you can reduce the integration period to and still have less than 5% error at all times at altitudes of:
1500 km
1000 km
500 km
With an integration time of ten seconds and all the parameters as above except peak power, how much do you need to set the peak power to to get a 5% error at 500 km?
Now change the elevation at 10 degrees (its a virtual Jicamarca radar, after all!). What is the integration time to have less than 5% error at all times at 1000 km altitude?
