The bistatic range displayed on the KrakenSDR range-doppler graph is described by the formula $\mathrm{Bistatic Range (meters)} = R_b = R_{tx} + R_{rx} - L$. So you can see that a single reading on the range-doppler graph describes an ellipse of possible locations.
+For drawing an ellipse we can then use the equation $2a = R_b + L = R_{tx} + R_{rx}$

# Range Resolution
Range resolution depends on the sampling bandwidth, which for the KrakenSDR and RTL-SDR tuners inside is 2.4 MHz. Therefore we achieve $\frac{c}{fs} = \frac{299792458}{2400000} = ~125m$ resolution per range cell on the graph (assuming the illuminating signal is at least 2.4 MHz as well).
