Abstract :
The radar information channel is developed as a theoretical model for the study of uncertainty within the design, development, and research of radar signature exploitation systems. Information measures are developed which characterize sources of uncertainty and propagate the associated impacts to system performance. Sources of uncertainty are studied to form an information loss budget for trading component design options against overall system performance.
