Staggered arrangement for improving radar reflection

Claim 1

In a staggered arrangement including towed aerial targets and multi-dimensional bodies where radar reflection is to be improved and on which staggered individual elements can be disposed that are made of conductive material and are spaced from one another; said elements being staggered for better radar reflection in a range between a lower cutoff frequency of a selected frequency band and an upper cutoff frequency of said selected frequency band having a predetermined wavelength of lower and upper cutoff frequencies respectively and being disposed on an object which is to be detected by a search frequency band of a radar unit; the improvement in combination therewith comprising selecting said selected frequency band based upon a mathematically regulated variable spacing between said staggered individual elements ranging from a maximum spacing to a minimum spacing rather than constant spacing, said mathematically regulated variable spacing being based on a predetermined geometric progression involving said spacing between said staggered individual elements and said wavelength of said upper and lower cutoff frequencies of said selected frequency band wherein the distance between individual ones of said staggered individual elements at said maximum spacing starts at one half of the wavelength of the lower cutoff frequency and decreases in accordance with said predetermined geometric progression to one half of the wavelength of said upper cutoff frequency so that automatic gain of reflection results in said search frequency band of the radar unit which as a whole leads to an overall additive amplification of radar reflection according to mathematical regulation.
