Advances in realtime radar simulation

Current and future requirements are considered to be placing growing demands on real-time radar simulators that cannot be met using traditional approaches. The authors describe an advanced approach to real-time radar simulation. The approach is based on emerging hardware and software technologies, and is well suited to many applications. The radar modeling approach can be used for all detection modes. In order to provide a high degree of flexibility, modularity is stressed during software development. Databases containing key design parameters are maintained to provide a high degree of flexibility and ease of reconfigurability to the radar simulator. Implementations are discussed
