The imperfections considered are the width and shape of the transmitted pulse and the associated impulse response of the receiver matched filter which is assumed to be always matched to the transmitted pulse. All other parameters that influence range resolution are assumed to be ideal. A simplified model of an ST radar system suitable for resolution studies is presented and this is used to simulate atmospheric profilesenThesis
