A biconic radar reflector permits boats to be seen on large ship radars. The biconic radar reflector may give a continuous azimuth lobe and a wide elevation lobe in order to maximize the probability of being seen on a ship radar. The biconic radar reflector may give a solid 360 degree azimuth lobe and a wide 80 degree elevation lobe. The biconic radar reflector may give improved detection probability, as compared to conventional corner reflectors, especially in the case of heavy rain clutter, where right circular return is 20 dB over the rain clutter. The biconic radar reflector may be made of two truncated conic sections, facing each other along a vertical axis so that a 90 degree angle is between them. |
