Abstract
A radar reflector provides an enhanced radar cross section pattern in one plane and this improved radar detectability in that plane. The radar reflector comprising a trihedral corner reflector arrangement having three planar faces at right angles to each other, a first planar face substantially triangular in shape having a right angle representing a common vertex, second and third planar faces joined at inner edges of the second and third planar faces to form a center line extending from the common vertex and each joined to the first planar face at straight sides extending from the common vertex such that the reflector is symmetrical about the center line, the center line being shorter than the two straight sides.
