Apparatus and methods for moving target indicator simulation

TLDR

Abstract
A moving target simulator system for pulse Doppler radar includes a processor for processing received radar signal and transforming the signal into patterned pulses before subjecting the patterned pulses to an 180 degree phase-shift by a phase-shifter. The system also includes a reference signal provided by a corner reflector located in proximity of the simulator. The reference signal and a phase-shifted signal from the simulator are processed by the radar equipped with a phase corrector circuitry to correct a phase drift problem associated with the use of a small antenna with the simulator.

Optimal loading factor for minimal sample support space-time adaptive radar

TL;DR: The intrinsic interference subspace removal (ISR) technique, which is a computationally and analytically useful form of diagonally loaded SMI method, is derived here and simulation results with synthetic data show that the maximum SINR indeed coincides with the proposed optimum loading factor in various data sample situations.

Doppler target simulator

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an arrangement simulating a moving target, complete with doppler phase shift, for a radar R. The transmitted signal is received by horn 10 from the radar and passed, via waveguide 12, to a phase shift section 14 comprising a plurality of ferrite rods and surrounding windings energized by a sawtooth wave from driver 30, and after reflection by short-circuited arms 18b and 18c, emits from the circulator via arm 18a for a second phase shift in the same direction of the first, in section

Radar terrain signal simulator

Abstract: To simulate the radar return from terrain of particular generic type (e.g. desert, forest, cultivated land) it is a known suggestion to employ closed-loop shift register with feedback suitable to produce particular "texture" of return from specified terrain. It is here disclosed to synchronize output of such register with azimuthal position of simulated search radar; but this alone gives "grainy" effect because "smeary" or slowly changing amplitude with range in PPI sweep is not matched by corresponding lateral, or azimuthal, "smear". This objectionable effect is overcome by providing three sets of output terminals on feedback register, giving outputs corresponding to shifts for azimuths N, N+1, and N+2. By buffing together the three outputs, an azimuthal variation at a slow rate, comparable with the variation with range, is obtained, giving a more deceptive (and thus better) simulation.
