The purpose of this report is to describe the development of a digital model for simulation of the University of Illinois Wullenweber direction finding system when operating in the scanning mode. Such a study has been motivated by two considerations. The first is the desire to study the accuracy and sensitivity problems in the present system, and to explore questions of performance degradation when certain engineering specifications are relaxed. The second is to have at the disposal of the Radiolocation Research Laboratory a "tool" which might be used to study ideas for future system development and improvement. Such studies would logically precede the construction of any new systems, or extensive modifications of the present system. Actual uses of the resulting digital simulation model will be subjects for later reports and/or notes.
