Abstract
Equations are presented for determining two-way range errors caused by multipath. The analysis of two-way range error is more complex than that for one-way range due to the fact that the uplink and downlink range errors oscillate at different rates when the leakage path length is varied. A limited amount of two-way range data was obtained with the Mu-1 ranging machine, Mariner Venus/Mercury 1973 Radio Frequency Subsystem, and Block 3 receiver. The agreement between theoretical and experimental values was typically better than 2 ns.
