Abstract
Efficient analysis of modern multistatic and netted radar systems requires a new generation of dedicated radar simulation software. Key requirements for such software are simulation accuracy and flexibility in choosing system parameters. In this paper, algorithms for the simulation of raw radar return signals are presented based on interpolation and modification of the transmitted signal and modelling of the radar hardware and environment. This method supports simulation of pulsed and CW systems; monostatic, multistatic, and netted systems; phased-array radars; and most physically realizable radar system configurations.
