Abstract

The currently deployed ranging systems are subject to a variety of waveform distortion errors and equipment vagaries which limit the accuracy of the range data used for Navigation and Radio Science. In light of this fact, this article presents arguments, both subjective and experimental, for increasing the accuracy of the currently deployed ranging system by the adoption of an approximately 1 MHz sine wave for the precision-defining signal for ranging. Inferences are also drawn for the design of more precise and wider bandwidth ranging systems in the future.
