Abstract :
The balance-point model for tracking radars has been extended by using the geometrical theory of diffraction to evaluate the magnitudes and phases of the fields received from the scattering centers on a target. Determinate, rather than statistically averaged, expressions for balance-point location are obtained. The glint model is illustrated for a right-circular cylinder.
