Abstract
Describes a simple mechanical way of moving a model target during laboratory measurements of radar cross section to simulate the precession motion of a satellite or reentry vehicle. The value of the simulation lies in the speed with which it can be accomplished and in its use as a diagnostic tool to aid the analysis of typical signature data
