A system and method is provided for detecting emitter signals and for determining a scan strategy for a receiver system that receives such emitter signals. When detecting emitter signals of a particular emitter, the receiver may periodically revisit the portion of the frequency spectrum in which that emitter operates. The revisit time that the receiver uses for a particular emitter may dependent on certain characteristics of the emitter. One of these characteristics is the illumination time of the emitter. Some emitters may present more than one illumination time to a detecting receiver. This may occur, for example, if the emitter sweeps azimuth and changes its elevation angle. Thus, a system and method are provided for computing revisit times for emitters with multi-valued illumination times.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preparing to detect an emitter signal which emitter signal presents a plurality of illumination times to a detecting receiver, the method comprising: determining at least one first illumination time of the plurality of illumination times; determining at least one second illumination time of the plurality of illumination times; and iteratively searching for a detection revisit time that is used to detect the first and second illumination times while satisfying a specified probability of detecting the emitter signal. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising an act of determining an initial value of detection revisit time, and wherein the act of iteratively searching comprises an act of incrementing the initial value of detection revisit time, and determining whether the decremented value satisfies the acceptable probability of detecting the emitter signal. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising an act of determining a step value, and wherein the act of incrementing further comprises an act of incrementing the initial value by the step value. 4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising an act of determining the detection revisit time by evaluating an open-form equation that determines a partial contribution for each of the first and second illumination times to the detection revisit time. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the act of iteratively searching further comprises an act of determining a trial detection revisit time. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the act of iteratively searching further comprises an act of determining if the trial detection revisit time exceeds an acceptable maximum revisit time, and if so, limiting a value of the trial detection time to a value of the acceptable maximum revisit time. 7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the act of determining a trial detection revisit time comprises determining an average value of the revisit time. 8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising an act of improving the trial detection revisit time by incrementing the value, and determining whether the improved trial detection revisit time is within a tolerance value. 9. The method according to claim 5, further comprising an act of determining the total number of illuminations made within a predetermined period, and using the total number of illuminations and the average value of the revisit time, determine an initial detection revisit time. 10. A computer program product comprising: a computer-readable medium having computer-readable signals stored thereon that define instructions that, as a result of being executed by a computer, instruct the computer to perform a method for preparing to detect an emitter signal which emitter signal presents a plurality of illumination times to a detecting receiver, the method including acts of: determining at least one first illumination time of the plurality of illumination times; determining at least one second illumination time of the plurality of illumination times; and iteratively searching for a detection revisit time that is used to detect the first and second illumination times while satisfying a specified probability of detecting the emitter signal. 11.
