Abstract: | Secondary acquisition systems, which operate with the knowledge that a signal is present, are modeled by a transient semi-Markov process. The behavior of the model is analyzed, using system analysis, to define the parameters of the acquisition system which minimize average acquisition time. A simple example is analyzed in detail to provide insight into the model. |
