A novel radio frequency short-wave wideband channel simulator which can be used to evaluate wideband SW communication system performance over shortwave channel with time-variant and dispersive property, is proposed in this paper. The channel simulator consists of RF transmitting, receiving module and baseband digital signal processing module. In particular, a wideband channel model is introduced into this project that can exhibit various short-wave characteristic such as delay spread, Doppler shift, Doppler spread and all kinds of noise and interference. At the same time, this paper makes a great improvement on SW wideband channel model proposed in Ref.[2] and utilizes some idea of software radio to design the channel simulator's RF part. Therefore, the channel simulator described in the paper can be applicable to not only theoretical research, but also practical application.
