Abstract

In this paper, design and fabrication of a MSP(Multiple Scattering Points) discriminator for a simulated target measurement using a HRR(High Range Resolution) RADAR are described. The MSP discriminator is designed to provide a reference signal at the installed point on the simulated target in an outdoor test. The MSP discriminator is designed to have a remote control function that can turn the MSP discriminator on and off when the target moves to a remote location. While the MSP discriminator is off, the MSP discriminator is designed to be small enough not to spoil the target's unique RCS. The MSP discriminator consists of RF components in the Ku-band. In order to prevent spreading of the signal, a cable were added to the MSP discriminator to have an appropriate feedback loop delay considering the resolution of the RADAR. The fabricated MSP discriminator provided a reference scattering point as an RCS of approximately 1 dBsm. As a result, by using the MSP discriminator, the physical scattering points of the target were clearly identified in the measured signals with the RADAR.
