Abstract
The Fano equality is joined with the data-processing inequality to develop a theory model for component level trade studies within radar signature exploitation systems. Entropy is used to represent propagating uncertainty within an information channel. Measures are developed to identify information flow bottlenecks within an information loss budget. The propagating effects of various sources of uncertainty on system performance are characterized.
