Abstract :
A method for accurately calculating the radar range improvement introduced by frequency agility is presented. This calculation is made by using the concept of independent pulses. The number of independent target or clutter pulses is calculated by a simple method based on such basic combinatorial probability theory as drawing differently colored balls from an urn.
