IncoherentSource models an optically rough reflector illuminated by a uniform intensity plane wave. The reflected return is modeled using multiple independent speckle realizations. IncoherentSource is a composite system, containing two subsystems, a UniformWave and a IncoherentReflector. It has a single WaveTrain output, representing the transmitted light. See also CoherentSource.
