Abstract:

Zero velocity error analog range tracking loops have been in wide use in radar signal processors for many years. However, a general design procedure for calculating the pertinent component values to fulfill a given requirement is apparently nonexistent. The report is intended to fill this void and provide the designer with a practical approach to the design of pertinent component values for second-order, type 2 range tracking integrators. Methods of target thresholding, acquisition, and reacquisition are not discussed.
