Abstract

In this paper we show the hardware testbed and software simulator of multi function array radar (MFAR). The hardware MFAR is simple and flexible hardware to implement various radar beamforming and detecting algorithms. To overcome the limitation of hardware MFAR, the software simulator is proposed. User can simulate radar under the various environment conditions adjusting the parameter of simulator. User can set environment of radar, such as the location and velocity of target, jammer and the terrain clutter. The radar use various probing pulses and supports two operation mode, surveillance and tracking mode.
