... The Radar Decoder correlates the received signal with the code used at transmission, generating the equivalent pulse-radar signal (digital). This process greatly reduces the output data rate over directly sampling with the Radar Interface , but requires that the ephemeris be very well known, so that the bins don't smear into one another. ... The Radar Interface samples an input input signal voltage (in quadrature), and provides it as a digital output to a VME bus for processing or recording. ...

... Judged by their instrumental profiles, spectrometers fall into two basic classes---Lorentzian and Gaussian---with many other line profile functions (sinc functions, Voigt functions, Airy functions, etc.) falling into one of these two categories in some limit. We demonstrate that the Rayleigh, Sparrow, and Houston resolution criteria are of limited use compared to the ``equivalent width'' of the line profile. ... Rayleigh criterion. ... All of these functions have continuous higher derivatives. ...

... Matrices and their invariants, such as order, rank, determinant, play an outstanding role in mathematics. ... To be a little more precise, nonzero square matrices of order $r+1$ (modulo multiplication by a nonzero constant) are represnted by points of the projective space $\Bbb P^{(r+1)^2-1}$. Geometrically, we consider the subvariety of matrices of rank one which is just the Segre variety $S=\Bbb P^r\times\Bbb P^r\subset\Bbb P^{(r+1)^2-1}$. ...
