From what I've read about the Chain Home radar, the altitude was measured comparing the strength of two receivers at different heights in the tower. Because of this, they where measuring angles.

Since the angles where not exact, the altitude error increased with the distance. I think this could be emulated with simple trigonometry using random errors for the angle.
