A variable scattering device comprising a object which may be an antenna, a load impedance which is optimal and a switch which connects the scattering object to the load impedance. By using the switch to switch the load impedance in and out of the connection with the scattering object a large dynamic range for a fluctuating scattered signal may be achieved.
