The Stagger Pulse types operate differently from the other pulse types mentioned

before. Instead of modulating the PRI, up to eight PRI values are given which

define the spacing of the pulses. The number of pulses in the stream is given by the

stagger number (e.g. Stagger 4 has four pulses per cycle).

The length from cycle to cycle is given by the Main PRI value, while the placement

of the intermediate pulses is shown in the diagram below.

The stagger pulse type is the only one to use the Stagger PRI values. It ignores all

of the PRI modulation fields.

types.
