Radar measurements are perturbed by electromagnetic scattering phenomena induced by complex targets including radar cross section scintillation and glint or position error. The statistical characteristics of these phenomena may be used to evaluate radar system performance, develop optimum tracking systems, and develop stochastic models to use in system simulations.
