ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for electronically simulating the transmit-receive gnal path of doppler radar during a target encounter in a simulator. It is an end-to-end fuze (radar) test from RF "in" to video "out". Target signature data is collected at a reduced relative encounter velocity from the actual target. The modified pulse doppler radar produces two orthogonal signals which define the complex received radar signal. These signals are then recorded. The missile radar to be tested is coupled to the simulator which simulates an actual missile to target encounter. During the test the PROMs are clocked into RF components in an RF Loop and clock counter is started. When the radar threshold is exceeded, a radar video output function stops the counter. By correlating the number of clock pulses counter to the distance marks traveled along the missile trajectory, missile radar function with respect to target location data is obtained and missle lethality computed.
