Abstract
The paper is devoted to devices which are designed for hardware implementation of the emitted signal’s transformation. Such devices are useful for obtaining signals which are similar to a real radar signal reflected from underlying surface. The implementation of the simulation model can be helpful to form signals for equipment tests. The most challenging problem is to develop the real-time system that generates signals reflected from numerous types of terrain where the signal parameters are variable. This paper shows how this problem can be solved for a radar altimeter with chirp frequency modulation. The methods, the simulator’s scheme and some model results are also presented in the paper.
