Target and Radar Simulation

Resource Overview

A simulation program for targets and radar systems that allows configuration of target position vectors, velocity, radar cross-section, range gates, and incorporates Gaussian noise. The simulation performs mixing and Fourier transform operations to display range-Doppler two-dimensional plots with detailed signal processing implementation.

Detailed Documentation

The target and radar simulation program is a configurable system that enables users to set parameters including target position vectors, velocity, radar cross-section (RCS), range gate thresholds, and other critical radar parameters. The implementation incorporates Gaussian noise modeling to simulate real-world environmental conditions. Through signal processing stages involving mixing (downconversion) and Fourier transform operations (typically implemented using FFT algorithms), the program generates and displays range-Doppler two-dimensional plots. These visualizations help users better understand the relationship between targets and radar systems, as well as observe changes in target motion states. The code architecture typically includes modules for target trajectory generation, radar equation calculation, signal processing chains, and visualization components using plotting libraries.
