A boring contest then? Bring it on!

Today I went on the train wearing a shirt with a metallic pen in the breast pocket and a fabric backed black rucksack with a portfolio folder inside it, getting a good view of a golf course, a river, a cemetery, the Olympic Park and a grand train station (London Liverpool street) including many softly, artificially lit train platforms lined with pillars and a giant orange worded many screened electronic train timetable , walked around some tall glass based buildings and across some wide roads and on the way back I sat in the first carriage and got to see the train driver.
I later cycled to the library and back in glorious sunshine wearing a green high vis jacket and a Helmet with one bright blue pannier on the luggage rack whilst occasionally crouching forward for aerodynamic benefit and went through a spiral subway entrance and exit, and returned: "Ghenghis Khan: His life and Legacy" and took out: "Ancient Rome" and "Global Originations".

Edited - once to correct a spelling mistake, and the second to give more details.

Factors affecting the performance of Pulse-Modulated Radars

Thus a transmitter rated at I kW mean power can be used to produce 1 MW pulses if the pulse duty factor is TDfr = 1/1000

Factors Affecting Radar Operation

Many factors affect the operation of a radar installation. Some of these factors are external to the radar set and affect all radars, e.g. reflections from unwanted objects and effects of external noise and jamming. We have very little control over such things.

Other factors controlling the performance of the radar are the result of deliberate decisions in design, e.g. the frequency of operation and the values of p.r.f. and pulse duration. These are selected and adjusted to give specific results and thus intentionally limit the operation of the radar.



External Factors Affecting Performance

The main external factors limiting the performance of a radar are:

a. Sources of external noise.
b. Reflections from unwanted objects.
c. The dimensions of the target.

Let us examine each of these in more detail.

If you read that and understand it then you will understand why the USAF decided they did not want to fly the Stealth Bomber over the UK anymore.
