The plot shows the range extent for the CP experiments used at different radars.
The "radar efficiency" is a measure of how much of the power of the radar is used at different ranges, 1 being that the maximum RF duty cycle is used. There are other parameters as well which are important for an experiment, such as range, time and spectral resolution.
For the more advanced user, there are now possibilities to make new data handling/DSP routines which are loaded on demand from the decodump process.
The tables below indicate the basic parameters of each experiment shown above for all the radar systems:
