A Model for Target Scintillation

Abstract

This report discusses the implementation of an algorithm used to simulate target scintillation. The algorithm takes uniform random noise and modifies it using a simulated low-pass filter to produce estimates of target strength. The actual implementation statistics are compared with the theoretical distribution to ascertain the usefulness of the approach.
