Radar Target Generator - RTG1002 Edition Date: 19-Apr-18
1. TECHNICAL MANUAL RTG1002
This document will describe the technical aspects of the Radar Target Generator RTG1002 and its usage in
three different setups:
1. As a remote test target in a far field setup, using antennas.
2. As 'On site - target injection' connected directly to the radars' Rx.
3. In combination with a towertrack, simulation of ballistic trajectories, is possible in the far field.
1.1. Introduction
This document describes the use of the Intersoft Electronics' Radar Target Generator (RTG1002) for
Primary Radar purposes. The RTG1002 is basically designed to generate primary radar returns and can be
placed in the field (Remote Test Target) or connected to a radar (on site target injection), in this setup a
target can be generated on two channels, the two beams of an ATC radar for example.
In all cases, the RTG1002 will detect and preserve the radar pulse, apply a fixed and highly precise delay
and retransmit the pulse with the appropriate power, pulse-width, frequency and Doppler shift.
The RTG1002 or Radar Target Generator is the key element to provide a true and correct Primary Radar
Environment Simulation. The design was kept versatile, covering with one design the L and S band.
For C-band frequencies there is RTGC1062
For X-band frequencies there is RTGX1063.
For UHF-band frequencies there is RTGU1085.
1.2. Key Features
The Radar Target Generator produces one or multiple programmable test target(s). The range, speed,
Doppler speed, radar cross section and swerling model are programmable.
The target can be generated either remote from the field, passing through the radar antenna or injected via a
coupler for what is called 'on site target generation'. On site injection allows to inject multiple targets in
various directions on top of real clutter.
