where
Pt = power transmitted by the radar (watts)
<- it is constatnt at this case Gt = gain of the radar transmit antenna (dimensionless)
<- it is constatnt at this case R = distance from the radar to the target (meters)
S = radar cross section of the target (meters squared)
Aeff = effective area of the radar receiving antenna (meters squared)
<- it is constatnt at this case Pr = power received back from the target by the radar (watts)
<- it is constatnt at this casemoving all the constants to the left...
( Pr * 4^2 * PI^2 ) / ( Pt * Gt * Aeff ) = S / ( R^4 )
Const = S
MiG / R
MiG^4
Const = S
F117 / R
F117^4
as the constants are the same with both targets, the two equations can be made equal...
S
F117 / R
F117^4 = S
MiG / R
