Uncertainty in Locating Mobile Objects

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Determining the distance between moving objects is considered for a constant velocity for light and for the velocity of light dependent on the velocities of the radiating source and the reflecting object. The uncertainty in the calculation of that distance is derived. The relative error is estimated.
