Radio horizon

Calculate radar line-of-sight range

Enter radar and target heights to see radio horizon and line-of-sight range using the standard atmosphere (4/3 earth radius) assumption.

The calculation gives only the geometric line of sight; actual detection range depends on the radar equation, target radar cross-section, antenna gain, atmospheric losses and clutter. It is for information and education and is not a product performance commitment.
