MODULE(S): [[EM.Terrano]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates a parameterized monostatic radar scene with a collocated point transmitter and receiver and a point scatterer at a certain range
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The user can determine the locations of both the radar (transmitter and receiver) and the target. The user can also import a radiation pattern for the radar antenna and rotate the antenna arbitrarily. By default, a 20dB Y-polarized pyramidal horn antenna pointing along the X-axis is assumed. The target is assumed to be a PEC sphere of 1m radius. The user can change the attributes of the target scatterer group from within the wizard including its material composition, or alternatively import either polarimetric scattering matrix or RCS data.
