Calibrator for radar target simulator

摘要

An apparatus and process makes it possible to quickly and accurately determine an equivalent for the radar cross section and range delay of a signal provided by a radar target simulator system. This calibration process considers the gain and delays associated with a radar target generator, the receive and transmit antennas associated with the generator, and the receive and transmit cables going to and from the generator to the receive and transmit antennas, respectively. Accurately determining gain and delay through the radar target simulator system permits the simulator to provide a well-calibrated radar cross section and range for radars it is testing and calibrating.
