Numerical system analysis of rotating antennas and rotating scatterers applied to navigation and radar systems

Electronically Rotating antennas or rotating scatterers are common in modern systems. This paper deals with the system distortions of radar and navigation systems by objects, in particular by rotation effects. This rotation can be a mechanically or electronically rotating antenna (e.g. VOR/DVOR antenna) or a simple rotating scatterer in the radiation field of a system (e.g. rotating radar antennas, rotating wind turbines) in close distances. System effects are analyzed and evaluated by state of the art 3D simulations.
