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.
