Following work in (1) Ch4. For active array with mean power of p of a single module, then the whole
array mean power can be notated with 𝑃𝑚 = 𝑝𝑁 Where N is number of the antenna modules while
the gain during transmitting and receiving is notated as follows :
𝐺𝑡 = 𝐺𝑟 = 𝜋𝑁
This is valid for a regularly spaced planar array in the broadside direction. For other directions and
other array distributions the proportionality holds for eq 4.46(1). Resulted with :
𝑆 𝑁 3 𝑝𝜋 2 𝜆2 𝜎𝑇𝑑
=
𝑁 (4𝜋)3 𝑅4 𝑘𝑇0 𝐹𝐿𝐿𝑖
Solving for range :
𝑁 3 𝑝𝜋 2 𝜆2 𝜎𝑇𝑑

𝑅=√
(4𝜋)3 (𝑆⁄𝑁) 𝑘𝑇0 𝐹𝐿𝐿𝑖
Yield the basic equation for an active array radar. Further modification however I consider as
necessary to ensure some accuracy and taking account of the dynamics of signal processing and losses
that might occur during operations (2). The specifics on additional factors taken account are as follows
