Abstract :
The performance of the modulation cancellation altimeter is investigated. Several sources of error are considered, specifically: 1) terrain averaging error; 2) output noise fluctuations; 3) errors due to phase shifts; and 4) acquisition ambiguities. The predominant parameters affecting these errors are investigated with a view towards optimizing the performance of the altimeter.
