Skip to Main Content The theoretical rms error in measuring time
delay (range) and Doppler frequency (relative velocity) are
determined for representative radar waveforms, including
rectangular-, trapezoidal-, triangular-, and Gaussian-shaped
pulses as well as the linear FM pulse compression waveform. The
so-called Â¿uncertaintyÂ¿ relationship of radar is interpreted
in terms of measurement errors and the difference between the
radar and the quantum mechanical uncertainty principles is
discussed. Mention is also made of the theoretical error
involved in measuring the angle of arrival with an antenna
aperture. Aeronautical and Navigational Electronics, IRE
