Traitement du signal. Linéarité : contrôle de la dynamique des récepteurs par paramétrage des gains. Mise en œuvre de lois d'atténuation dites GVT (gain variable dans le temps) qui évite la saturation en zone proche. Cette mesure est efficace sur les échos de sol mais, étant appliquée sans distinction d'angle de site (il n'existe pas de discrimination dans le plan vertical), elle est défavorable aux cibles utiles proches. Efficacité limitée en cas d'échos fixes forts, qui se trouveraient hors de la dynamique maximale autorisée par les plus fortes valeurs d'atténuation. 6, record 1, French, - gain%20variable%20dans%20le%20temps

Pour éviter les risques de saturation du récepteur, programmation du gain de celui-ci en fonction du temps. Ainsi, le gain est faible pour les cibles proches et élevé pour les cibles éloignées. 7, record 1, French, - gain%20variable%20dans%20le%20temps
