A series of radar data sets to be used for Mars surface detection in 1975 was simulated and processed as a function of time delay and frequency. Appropriate signal-to-noise ratio was calculated for certain distances to the planet, assuming appropriate X-band antenna parameters. The round-trip time delay of the signal reflected from the surface of the planet was determined. Up to 120 delay measurements were made to allow determination of the detection probability and the measurement accuracy. Systematic errors in the measured delay with changes in surface roughness were observed. This effect is shown to be many times larger than the expected rms fluctuations in the measured delays.
