Glint at millimeter wavelengths
Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the glint error associated with a ground-to-ground tracking radar at ranges under 10 km. Glint, or angle scintillation, is the error produced by the phase-front tilt associated with a complex target. The analysis considers large targets (e.g., trucks) as large sets of subtargets and examines radar characteristics for 94, 120, and 220 GHz frequencies. The magnitude of rms glint error is estimated.
