Abstract :
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 antenna, rotating wind turbine). Effects are analyzed and evaluated by state of the art 3D simulations.
