   Weather Radar Microwave reflections
  This is quite a broad request, since I am only at the beginning stages of this project.I am busy designing an airborne weather radar system for a flight simulator. Can anybody help with examples or advice on simulating the microwave signal reflection? It is intended to pick up precipitation in clouds and is also used to map ground surfaces.For further information, just ask. I just need a jumpstart in the right direction here.Thanks.   
  Depends how detailed you want to get, but maybe look here (where I used to work).   ;  It doesn't have to be too intricate. Basically just sending out a signal, having it return a signal of a specific strength depending on how much precipitation it encounters and also depending on whether is encounters a solid surface. Basically, I think the most important thing for me now is, how do I represent the radar signal in C++ form. The reflection, I presume, I could simply treat as any light reflection.   ;  I do this too, not for games though.You might want to look into transmission line modeling. And also try searching for  "transmission line modelling". Yes, there is a great difference in results based on the extra l. :)
