Angular glint simulation based on scattering center model

The scattering center model had been proved to be able to characterize the scattering fields from an extended target with high precision. Besides radar image interpretation and radar characteristics recognition, the application of scattering center model is extended to the computation of linear glint errors in this paper. The formula of linear glint errors are derived, as well as the relationship of linear glint errors at two orthogonal directions, which are of significance for the study of probability distribution functions of linear glint errors. The analytical results are validated by the results of the traditional method using the data bank of scattered fields.
