ABSTRACT:
A synthesizer combines frequencies for multiple targets, accumulating the phase components separately and allowing the targets to change velocity separately. The amplitude of the simulated signal at the phase secified is generated using a method that combines coarse and fine angle components of the desired angle signal allowing small high speed memories to be used. A first ROM is addressed by high order bits of the phase component and a second ROM by the lower order bits. The outputs of the first and second ROM's are multiplied and then added to the output of the first ROM producing the amplitude of the desired phase. The system also allows the amplitude of the signal being synthesized to be modulated by multiplying the synthesized digital value by an amplitude modulator. The synthesized amplitudes for each frequency are combined. Digital zero order hold correction removes amplitude distortion from the output spectrum. Separate target profiles for mulitple targets can be simulated in high detail as the radar simulates a target illumination sweep by a profile memory addressed by the filtered combination. By providing the angle components to in-phase and quadrature generators the system will simulate digital signals for digital radars. After the filtered value is converted into an analog echo signal, a programmable lowpass filter, with a passband adjustable based on the number of targets being simulated, adjusts the passband to suppress undesired components.
