| Abstract: | Attention is called to the phenomenon of ?range-Doppler coupling,? characteristic of linear FM (chirp) waveforms, and the strong effect this coupling may have on tracking accuracy. Numerical results are presented for simple three-state filters and for a realistic reentry vehicle tracking problem. |
