On improved ranging
Abstract
The use of a 1 MHz range code and a narrow-passband IF filter reduces waveform distortion error by a factor of as much as 20. Along with this improvement in ranging precision, ranging accuracy is enhanced by nullifying many errors caused by equipment vagaries. The IF filter and concomitant modification of ranging system software (and in the case of the planetary ranging assembly, hardware) are the most cost-effective way of improving the current generation ranging system.
