You can not simulate any interference pattern from several sources or 
reflective objects. The best you can get is thin film irisation. A very 
narow slit can't show anything but a sharp pattern. Those are crutial 
for any SAR.

For the visible spectrum, you can add some reflection in the finish of 
your objects. Metals have prety uniform reflectivity, but other 
materials normaly have variable reflection.
