Abstract :
Since communication or radar systems, like all systems involving human activity, are subject to the laws of profit and loss, their performance may be evaluated on a scale of economic utility values. A utility evaluation may be conducted with the aid of D. Bernoulli´s Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility.1
