Simulation
of Radar Target "Glint" using Antenna
Arrays
When a radar signal hits a
target such as an aircraft or a ship, the
reflections from multiple facets of the target
can combine in strange ways. Sometimes this
results in an apparent reflection point being
outside the actual target. This phenomenon is
known as "glint".
NeoDym Systems
designed a special antenna array which would
simulate this effect inside a special radar
target chamber. The company also simulated the
view of the target as "seen" by the
viewing radar.
