[Calculation of potential accuracy in measuring the angular coordinates of targets by the echolocator of bats using the equal-signal zone method].
Potential accuracy in measuring the course to a target is calculated. This accuracy is physically achievable it the hypothesis that an accurate measurement of angular coordinates of the target of bat's echolocator is realized by the method similar to that of equally signaling zone in radiolocation is true. Possible application of such a method is based on the "pulsation" of direction diagram in the course of radiation of the probing impulse. In this case crossing of partial diagrams of radiation corresponding to high- and low-frequancy regions of the impulse form the equally signaling zine. If the target is in this direction the amplitudes of autocorrelation functions formed by corresponding regions of reflected and probing impulses will be equal. The minimal error of the method is limited by the optimum duration of each of the compared correlation functions, which forms the basis for derivation of the formula evaluating this error. Numerical calculation of the accuracy of measurements of the angle achievable for the echolocator of Myotis blythi is performed by this formula proceeding from average experimental values of the echolocator characteristics. The model under consideration is shown to agree with a number of experimental data.
