The one-way ambiguity distance is approximately:

3.6.9.4.2. Non-Integer Ratio Between Q Factors

The ESA-like and USB standards allow to select non integer ratios between minor tone « Q » factors. The
advantage of this solution is to increase the ambiguity distance much beyond the wavelength of the lowest virtual
minor tone. In this case, the one-way ambiguity distance can be directly derived from the Least Common Multiple
(LCM) of all « Q » factors.
Example: all real tones are in the range 47-53 kHz:

The LCM is:
Qmin6 = 170 = 5x17x2
Qmin5 = 180 = 5x2
Qmin4 = 850 = 5
Qmin3 = 4250 = 2x5
Qmin2 = 21250 = 2x5
