Abstract :
Radar echo signal simulator is usually implemented based on a special kind of radar system, which makes radar simulation system single and be empty of flexibility. In terms of the above situation, a new kind of echo simulator has been prompted in this paper. Compared with traditional instruments, it is scalable, programmable and suitable for upgrade. It has been successfully used in the design of radar imaging system.
