Another Method of Generating Glint.

Abstract

The baseline method of computing angle glint offsets for the Distributed Sources Generation System is based on the concept of a glint centroid. In this memo, we derive an alternate method that is simpler to implement and somewhat more general. Let us assume the one-dimensional geometry where the monopulse receiver is sensitive to only the azimuth angle. We define theta(0) as the angle from the boresight axis to a reference point on the extended target (the c.g., for example), and alpha (i) as the angle of the i-th scatterer from the reference point.
