L'altimètre radar [...] mesure la distance sur la base du temps qui s’écoule entre l'envoi du signal et la réception de son écho. Pour que la mesure soit juste, il faut déduire de cette durée le temps de transit du signal dans l'électronique de l'instrument. Ainsi, «l'étalonnage absolu» consiste à faire la soustraction : durée totale-transit dans l'électronique. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9talonnage%20absolu
