Part II - Chapter 5 ∙ Selectivity: This type of figure results after the threat has compensated for the glint effect in the slant range axis by remigrating all the slant range bins in an orderly manner, like using a range migration algorithm. Then the threat will integrate the returns with respect to time in order to perform the added value function of visualizing the collected data.

Maximum Glint Criterion
Maximum glint is obtained when the interfering scatterer has a value of 0.9 or more for reflectivity amplitude and 180 degrees phase, as shown in Figure 5.14 for Type I, Figure 5.15 for Type II and Figure 5.16 for Type III. Seeing this result at a far distance from the target a skilled radar operator may become suspicious of the large amount of angular glint. We have included this result for project validation purposes.
