PW = 2*10**-6;         #pulse width 2us
Pav=100;              #average power in watts

#Calculations

Ppeak = (Pav)/float((PW*PRF));         #Peak power in watts

In [15]:
import math

#variable declaration
F      = 6*10**9;              #frequency in Hz
Vo     = 3*10**8;              #velocity in m/s;

#5/18 is multiplied to convert kmph to m/s

#result
print'Doppler Frequency is %3.3g'%(Fd/1000),'KHz';

Doppler Frequency is 2.22 KHz
