A radar generates (100 mathrm{~kW}) of power and has (1 mathrm{~dB}) of loss between the power tube

Question:

A radar generates \(100 \mathrm{~kW}\) of power and has \(1 \mathrm{~dB}\) of loss between the power tube and the antenna. The radar is monostatic with a single antenna that has a gain of \(38 \mathrm{~dB}\). The radar is operating at \(5 \mathrm{GHz}\). What is the power at the receive antenna output for the following targets?
(a) A \(1 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{RCS}\) target at a range of \(30 \mathrm{~km}\). 

(b) A \(10 \mathrm{dBsm}\) target at a range of \(50 \mathrm{~km}\). Assume the total radar losses of \(1 \mathrm{~dB}\).
