Abstract :
This paper describes the simulation of a non-symmetrical Doppler spectrum for an airborne radar scenario using a sum of complex sinusoids (SOC) technique. The low complexity generation of this class of spectrum is required for the generation of synthetic clutter for the testing of airborne radar systems using digital RF memory (DRFM) based hardware in the loop (HIL) test systems.
