Abstract

A radar system is operated by controlling and thereby limiting the mean power of the transmitted signal in response to the mean power of the received signal thereby limiting the power to a predetermined power range. Preferably the power control or regulation is performed by varying the pulse repetition frequency and/or the pulse duration of the transmitter pulses. This method is well suited for operating a motor vehicle range warning system.
