“…THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GLINT AND TARGET SIZE Equation (9) can be used to explain another observed property of glint. An important theorem from complex analysis tells us how often we can expect to see amplitude fades (zeros) for fields defined by Equation (3). By virtue of (9), this theorem also tells us how often we should expect to see glint spikes.…”

04_ Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division FOREWORDThe work described in this report was performed during the 1993 fiscal year as part of an effort to improve missile signal processing capabilities. This problem continues to be central to radar research programs and considerable effort has been expended within the last few decades in attempts to solve it.There seems to be a good deal of confusion about the glint problem in radar target tracking. Judging by the many requests for information that I have received within the last year, this confusion seems to be a result of the preponderance of literature in the area and the (relatively) high level of understanding these works presuppose of the reader. Moreover, many significant questions have not been addressed in a frank and decisive way.It is hoped that this introductory tutorial will help answer some of the questions that are frequently asked and are not adequately answered by existing documents. However, while introductory in intent, several of the approaches that we have uised are nontraditional and provide for more definitive conclusions.

“…If, for example, a = 0.5, then (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) gives 0o = 0 T1 -0 D' and the radar tracks a point outside of the region between the reflectors.…”

“…4-3, consider the radial lines to 0" and P to be the vectors d and r, respectively. Forming the scalar product of these vectors, r d rd cos a = xx' + yy' + zz' (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) .,4° system, a coordinate transformation is required to obtain the angular "coordinates of P relative to Oi. * *The radial distance to P is usually much larger than the distances between the primary and secondary origins.…”

“…The procedure for using (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) to find the total field E at a given po:nt P thus involves the use of (4-11) to find the distance to each complex Ci, the use of transformations (4-17) and (4-18) to find the angular coordinates of P with respect co each origin Oi, and the use of these coordinates to determine the contributions Ai and a, from the recorded data.…”

“…Muchmore, (also at Hughes, 1952) extended Delano's work to include the spectra of the reflected signals [7]. This concept has probably contributed more to the understanding of glint than any other work.…”
