4. Coverage area design guidelines
For the best radar positioning and optimal coverage area design there are few
basic factors to take in to account when designing coverage area:
1. Radar sensor coverage area for the RSS-4 sensor
2. Minimal target return signal to be detected
3. Shape and obstacles in the radar coverage area
RSS-4 Coverage Area
The radar sensor can detect all objects (targets) stationary or moving in the
angle of 90° (±45°) in horizontal axis and it can detect all objects in the angle of 22°
(±11°) in vertical axis. The detection range is symmetrical to the left and right side in
horizontal plane and it is symmetrical in the same way in vertical axis plane. Minimal
distance from radar for target to be detected is 4m. Maximal distance for the target
with radar cross-section of 0,75m
2
and detection probability of 99% is 150m on flat
short grass terrain.
Drawing of the horizontal and vertical radar coverage area is shown on the
picture 4 and picture 5.
