Abstract :
Variations in apparent target direction, or glint, as sensed by an amplitude monopulse tracking antenna are analyzed for several cases when a nonuniform wave is incident on the antenna. Results are given for a target consisting of two isotropic scatterers, and compared with results previously obtained for the case of a locally uniform wave incident on the antenna.
