Having examined how a radar signal is generated, is emitted from the antenna, scatters from external objects, reenters the radar, and is recorded as a voltage by an A/D converter, we now begin consideration of how to interpret the resulting measurement. Throughout this chapter, the returned echo is considered as a signal voltage plus a noise voltage, both analog (continuous). Effects of AID quantization noise can be considered part of the noise voltage.
