Why is there a max range for radar?

Maximum Range: Radar Max Range is determined, ideally speaking, on the properties of the antenna only. A signal at a certain frequency is transmitted, reflected, then hopefully, detected. Due to the three-dimensional propagation of radar waves, frequency hold the highest weight in determining range .

What is maximum range in radar?

The maximum unambiguous range (Rmax) is the longest range to which a transmitted pulse can travel out to and back again between consecutive transmitted pulses . In other words, Rmax is the maximum distance radar energy can travel round trip between pulses and still produce reliable information.
