Abstract
This is the second in a series of articles intended to develop a road map for future developments in two-way range instrumentation. In the first article, we presented a rationale and experimental evidence for improvements to ranging which seem to be achievable through reasonably minor changes to the tracking station. In this article, we develop a heuristic overview of the principal systematic error sources for ranging, and some of the remedies for them. Our principal recommendations are for wider system and range-code bandwidths, and for simplification of the precision-defining form of the range code.
