Abstract
This paper describes a computer simulation developed for spaceborne radar altimeter applications. The simulation uses a behavioral model for an orbiting altimeter. The model developed is based on the GEOSAT Follow-On Radar Altimeter, but is general in nature and can be used as an analysis or design tool for altimeter design development, or testing
