IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. DETECTOR DUO SYSTEM – User manual N doc: MN/2009/028 - Rev. 1.1 o As the propagation speed in the med ium increases ( vm ), the ratio betw een the flight t ime of the outw ards and return signal twt relat ive to echoes originat ing from lateral points and the twt relat ing to the top surface of the target decreases. Therefore the hyperbola w idens w ith higher propagation speed, vm .
