The distance of the closest point of approach, along an aircraft flight path, to a beacon is required. Aircraft/beacon range information is achieved by the use of a dual Doppler technique. The Dopplers are corrupted by multipath interference. Two digital tracking filters succeed in significantly reducing errors in range caused by the multipath signals.
