A novel approach to the burn-through range-theory and applications

The radar angle tracking loop is analyzed using the mean time to loss of lock (MTLL) criterion. This choice of performance criterion enables us to gain a completely new, meaningful engineering insight into the problem of burn-through range (BTR), and to demonstrate exactly how an increase in the target manoeuvring is equivalent to an increase in the jamming power. For a given scenario, the true BTR is presented.
