Radar Glint-A Survey

Abstract

ABSTRACT Radar glint is a target scattering phenomenon that causes an error in the measured target position. Thus the miss distance of radar guided homing missiles may be adversely affected, A brief history of research and development in the interpretation, understanding and modeling of glint is presented. Emphasis is placed on understanding the phenomenology and modeling techniques. A comprehensive bibliography of papers on glint and related subjects available in open literature is included.
