Information on Radar Reflector
A radar reflector is a passive device that is
designed to be ab efficient reflector of radar signals, giving
a strong return to the radar. A radar reflector
might be used by a small boat to increase the
likelihood of the boat being detected by radars on large
ships in the vicinity. In military use, a radar reflector might be used as a decoy.
One of the most
important properties of a radar reflector is its radar
cross section, which its apparent size.
