Abstract
This paper develops a set of mathematical tools for system design or analysis of a type of pseudorandom coded ranging system used in several space programs. Certain probabilities of failure of the system to perform the ranging function and the times required for the system to perform prescribed ranging functions are defined and related to system parameters. A set of sample calculations is presented for clarification of the computational techniques.
