Concept:

The maximum unambiguous range of pulse radar is given as:

\(maximum \ unambiguous \ range =\frac{c\times PRT}{2}=\frac{c}{2\times PRF}\)

Where,

c = speed of light

PRT = pulse repetition time

PRF = pulse repetition frequency

Calculation:

Given:

Range = 60 km

\(PRF=\frac{3\times10^8}{2\times 60\times10^3}\)

PRF = 2.5 × 103 pps
