Straddling loss arises because a target is not always precisely centered in a gate. This loss cannot be estimated by simply averaging the signal voltage or power over target location. The probability of detection must be averaged. We show how to do this and present results for rectangular gates. We also present an equation for estimating joint probability of partially correlated events.
