The repeater, which consists of an amplifier and a programmable delay line, amplifies and delays the intercepted signal. By transmitting this signal back to the radar and gradually increasing the delay, the range gate in the radar tracking system can be captured and pulled away from the target echo, thereby producing range deception. This technique is usually referred to as range gate pull off(RGPO). 3, record 1, English, - range%20gate

Le répétiteur, qui consiste en un amplificateur et en une ligne à retard programmable, amplifie et retarde le signal intercepté. La retransmission de ce signal au radar et l'augmentation graduelle du retard permettent la capture de la porte en distance du radar didactique et son déplacement par rapport à l'écho de la cible, ce qui produit une déception en distance. Cette technique est généralement appelée déréglage des portes de distance ou vol de la fenêtre de télémétrie (RGPO). 1, record 1, French, - fen%C3%AAtre%20de%20t%C3%A9l%C3%A9m%C3%A9trie

A plurality of consecutive pulses are transmitted in a direction of the single range cell within a sufficiently short period so that at least one target remains within the single range cell while the plurality of consecutive pulses are transmitted. An echo signal is sampled from each of the plurality of pulses. An updated covariance matrix is estimated each time the echo signal is sampled.

Primary radar is(...) the original form of radio-detection, in which a beam of microwave energy illuminates a passive or "non-cooperating" target and the reflected pulse or echo is processed to display its bearing and distance from the transmitter(three-dimensional or height-finder radars will also display its altitude, although these are, so far, restricted to military surveillance applications, essentially for reasons of cost, plus the fact that there are alternative means of determining the altitude of aircraft, other than hostile intruders). 1, record 17, English, - passive%20target
