ABSTRACT:
A method for acquiring targets within a search area using an electronic device is disclosed. The method involves partitioning a first acquisition time period into a plurality of range gates, simultaneously positioning one or more of the range gates within the search area during a search mode, and transmitting an energy pulse train. Upon receipt of a reflection of the transmitted pulse train, the method records a signal level of the reflected energy pulse train within the first acquisition time period. Based on the recorded signal level, the method advances one or more of the range gates by a prescribed outbound movement increment until the signal level within at least one of the range gates is above a prescribed acquisition signal level threshold.
