Airborne Monopulse Radar Echo Signal Generation from Surface Clutter Including Weather Clutter Effect

An airborne radar echo signal includes signals returned from clutter and a target; thus, simulating the may be crucial for predicting analyzing accurate performance. Because it can extremely difficult expensive to obtain real measured data various scenarios, an generation method is required. Existing weather ground simulators X-band are combined simulate when two clutters exist simultaneously. The effect becomes more significant with increasing frequencies, such as in X-band. proposed simulator generate time-domain by considering random characteristics of Doppler caused movement aircraft clutter. In addition, simple scheme generating artificial structures. Finally, finite bandwidth transmitted chirp calculated improve accuracy generated signal.
