The virtual target signal generator was developed to verify the shipborne tracking radar performance. It was used to DRFM(Digital RF Memory) method to generate the virtual moving targets. The target signal includes Doppler shift and RCS according to the target motion. And the signal generator can make jamming signal and clutter to test shipborne radar performance at real environmental condition. This paper described the functional diagram and the hardware configuration items to meet the test requirements for the tracking radar. And it showed the critical design points for the sub-systems. The signal generator which was developed in this paper shared the operational information of the radar with the radar command and control part. To test the frequency agility of the radar, it had the local oscillator which could do high speed frequency switching according to radar information. By communicating between the signal generator and the radar command and control part, the local oscillator of signal generator could be controlled every pulse. It reduced the instantaneous bandwidth of signal generator and minimized the spurious. So it lowered the probability of generating wrong targets.

This paper proposes a design and fabrication of the test equipment that is implemented as a part of the airborne tracking radar inspection under the environment of indoor simulation. This test equipment provides controlling the operation status of airborne tracking radar and replicating the velocity and range information of target by generating a variety of target signal. This is mainly composed of radar operation controller, target signal generator, horn antenna driving devices. Radar operation controller is able to perform the controlling of radar operation mode and monitoring in real time by serial communication. Target signal generator is generated doppler signal and range delayed signal using virtual target of RF-band. Horn antenna driving devices perform a role of target simulating exercise. In the end, the performance is demonstrated using experiment results of test equipment for airborne tracking radar.

이 논문에서는 실제 레이다를 이용하여 획득한 신호와 시뮬레이션으로 획득한 신호에 ${\Sigma}{\Delta}-STAP$ 알고리즘을 적용하여 비교하였다. 시험은 무반향 챔버에서 모의신호 발생장치를 이용한 표적 신호와 신호발생기를 이용한 클러터 신호를 레이다로 수신하여 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션은 시험과 동일한 레이다 파라미터에 이상적인 기저대역 신호 모델링을 통하여 수행하였다. 비교 결과, ${\Sigma}{\Delta}-STAP$ 처리된 거리-도플러 맵은 표적 신호의 형태나 잡음 수준이 시뮬레이션과 시험 결과가 거의 유사하였다. SINR 손실의 경우, 두 결과가 비슷한 양상을 보이나, 시뮬레이션 결과가 1~2 dB 가량 높은 값을 보였다. 이를 통하여 일반적인 레이다 신호 시뮬레이션을 수행하여도 실제 시험 결과와 유사한 ${\Sigma}{\Delta}-STAP$ 처리 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
