8.33 Configure Target Simulator
(TARGSIM)
RVP900 contains a built-in target simulator tool that can test and debug processing
algorithms that work with multiple trip returns. Several real physical targets can be
simulated, each having a range span measured in kilometers, a Doppler shift in Hertz, and an
echo power relative to the saturation level of the receiver. The echoes are placed in range
exactly according to how they have been illuminated by whatever sequence of pulses have
been transmitted so far. Multiple trip returns and range folding are all modeled correctly.
The target simulator can be used with both live and simulated (I,Q) data. See 8.11 Load
Simulated Time Series Data (LSIMUL) (page 289).
In the simulated case, you can overlay simulated physical targets on top of real physical
targets from the radar receiver.
