Moving Target Simulation of Multi-Band Radar Based on Doppler Frequency Signal Generation Technology

This paper proposes a corner reflector and Luneburg ball reflector group. The omnidirectional radar cross-sectional (RCS) distribution characteristics of a fighter are simulated using the sharp and smooth RCS distribution features of the corner and the Luneburg ball reflectors, respectively. A new type of Doppler signal generation principle is proposed to design a Doppler frequen-cy simulator to transmit frequency signals by connecting in parallel with the metal layer of the corner reflector and the Luneburg sphere ball, and then transmit through their other end. The existing radar target aircraft cannot simulate the RCS and speed of the targets that are less than 0.005 m₂ by enhancing the echo intensity of the target location, which makes it impossible for the military to conduct practice drills and evaluate the effectiveness of the air defense systems. The experimental results show that the Doppler frequency simulator successfully simulates the target speed of 0–80 km/h and when the speed is greater than 20 km/h, the error of the simulation frequency is less than 1.5%. The proposed method can provide guidance and a theoretical basis for simulating the speed of various types of aircraft in future work.
