Equation 3.8-14<br />

The compressed pulse width (RDtCP) is a range dependent function modelled<br />

as a linear function in which the slope is determined by the maximum range<br />

(RDRMAX) commensurate with the detector output interface,<br />

Equation 3.8-15<br />

Range-rate measurements are corrupted by zero-mean Gaussian noise that is<br />

a function of the transmission frequency (λT) and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio<br />

(SNR) (RDSN).<br />

Equation 3.8-17<br />

The radar illuminates a target long enough to coherently process a number<br />

of pulse returns which reduces eclipsing losses and measurement noise<br />

associated with a single pulse. This is the observation, or dwell time (RDtO),<br />

which is a function of the measured target range and squint angle,<br />
