A Practical Approach to the Analysis and Design of Zero Velocity Error Range Trackers

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.
