Factors affecting accuracy1. Frequency of the tone or modulation.2. Accuracy of the phase-measurement loop. This depends on
signal strength, noise, and so on.3. Stability of the modulation oscillator.4. Number of cycles (or measurements) that can be averaged
together for a range. measurement.5. Turbulence in the air through which the. measurement is
made.6. Variations in the index of refraction of the air.
