RADAR System Characterization Extended to Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation for the Lab-Volt TM Training System

<p>Modeling RADAR signals in software allows the testing of potential electronic counter measures and electronic counter counter measures without the associated RADAR hardware and test facilities. Performing a characterization process on a real world RADAR system reveals all imperfections within the system. The Lab-Volt TM RADAR system served as the characterized real world RADAR system. The characterization process consisted of measurements at selected front panel locations on the Lab-Volt TM transmitter module antenna pedestal receiver module and dual channel sampler module. Due to the overwhelming influence of antenna parameters on a received signal the characterization process also attempted to derive an antenna transfer function that described how the antenna lters a signal that is passed through it. The characterization process also determined the manner in which different adjustments influenced the signal.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
