Radar Simulators

Radar technologies have grown significantly in the past 10 years due to commercial applications as well as advanced semiconductor technologies ASIC.

Validating functionality and performance of any wireless device between transmitter and receiver in the open air requires meticulous design of experiment and difficult to begin with.  Typically, multiple experiment must be done to capture adequate reliable information, in order to make assessment of that wireless device.

In case of radar, this validation is an order of magnitude more difficult, as the radar pulse and echo have to be captured in the open air.  There are many circumstances that measurements can have a very low yield.  Furthermore, that open air testing has high expense tag for every run and have to be repeated multiple times to have confident in the measurements.

Cost of testing any radar can range from couple hundred thousand to multi millions per year, depending on the platform to be tested and conditions of the testing.

Radars are used in aircraft, automotive, drone, ground base, ship, and train.

What is the alternative? Radar Simulators.

Radar system is comprised of HW, FW, and SW like any other radio system. To validate the functionality and performance these components, radar simulator can be used.

Radar simulator allows to various necessary algorithms, such as; gain control/dynamic range, direction finding, tracking, target identification.
