radarx.fundamentals.system.radar_equation(pt: float, g_tx: float, g_rx: float, wavelength: float, sigma: float, r: float, loss: float = 1.0) → float

Compute the received power using the radar range equation.

Parameters:

• pt (float) – Transmitter peak power [W].

• g_tx (float) – Transmit antenna gain (linear).

• g_rx (float) – Receive antenna gain (linear).

• wavelength (float) – Radar wavelength [m].

• sigma (float) – Radar cross-section [m^2].

• r (float) – Range to target [m].

• loss (float, optional) – System loss factor (default is 1.0).

Returns:

float – Received power [W].
