  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. Several environmental effects were revealed in the flight testing of Westinghouse airborne radars for the BOMARC IM99-B missile and the AWACS E-3 Sentry. The radar antenna is covered by a radome which may introduce distortions and reflections of the radar energy. The aircraft structure may cause distortions and reflections of the radar beam. Atmospheric diffraction may cause fluctuation of the target signal. Forward scatter from the Earth may cause a mirror image of the desired target.
