Which outcome occurs when a pulsed radar system's clock drifts during signal propagation?

💡 Explanation

Range error increases because clock drift causes errors in time of flight calculations via the Doppler Effect, a frequency shift. This is called range-Doppler coupling caused by timing imprecision therefore the range is inaccurate rather than constant at high frequencies.
