The model used for simulation includes a distributed target model, a platform and target geometry model, and a mathematical architecture used for generation of raw echo. Two aspects are stressed, one is the effects of earth ellip soid and attitude errors on radar impulse respense, the other is quick generation of range migration in azimuth frequency domain. Prescribed statistical characteristics of the model account for a realistic speckle of actual image. Finally, examples are given to validate the simulation of raw signal for spaceborne SAR.展开更多

A hardware platform of the real-time echo simulator based on the VPX bus is designed. With this platform, real-time multi-point echo generation and scenario targets echo generation can be achieved by the real-time signal processing in Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA), utilizing the parameters calculated by the industry computers. Furthermore, this platform can output different signals if it is expanded to multi-channels, making it possible for the assignment of echo generation and test in different spaceborne SAR modes. The test results with the actual SAR system show that this platform can satisfy the system requirements and is now used in practice.展开更多
