The Design of Radar Intermediate Frequency Echo Simulator

Abstract

This paper has introduced a kind of method which can simulate the echo signal of radar receiver by the use of the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) and Programable Logic Device (PLD).With the realization of actual circuit,the echo simulator can produce intermediate frequency and video signals.Therefore,with the help of the echo simulator, we can raise the detection ability of radar receiver system considerably. The structure of the simulator is simple but its function is great.The echo simulator can simulate intermediate frequency signals of radar receiver system for the first time.So the simulator can locate where isn’t work well of the radar receive system.
