Alongside our live radar systems, including the NextGen 8 GHz Pulse, 24 GHz FMCW and 24 GHz Noise radar, SkyRadar offers the technical radar simulator, SkySim. Designed not as a substitute but as an essential complement to real-life radar, SkySim offers flexibility in simulating various radar types and deploying diverse scenarios and use cases. It is particularly advantageous for distance learning programs. Like our live radars, SkySim generates IQ signals that can be visualized and manipulated within FreeScopes, enhancing the learning and operational experience.
The simulator can be expanded to a military simulator for radar and electronic warfare. Read more.
POSSIBLE EXERCISES
The scope of exercises in the fields which can be implemented with the DSP radar simulator is virtually unlimited. So we just state some fields of application here:
Radar Operation Skills (FreeScopes series Basic and ATC required)
Application of algorithms and filters like STC, Source Suppress, CFAR, FFT, MTI, MTD etc.
FEATURES
Radar Model
The simulator is based on a simulated radar model with parameters like
Detection probability
False alarm rate
Range
Range resolution
And for the targets: Target RCS
Modulation & Waveform
Rectangular pulses (variable)
PRF (variable)
Pulse width (variable)
Noise
Artificial Jamming (Noise)
Transmitter
Stimulated emission power is based on the required Signal-to-Noise ratio SNR
SNR is a function of Pd, Pfa and pulse integration
Ptx (minimum value) calculated from the Radar equation
Antennas
Radiator Tx for Radar and Jammer
Collector Rx for Radar and Jammer
Simulation
Static and moving targets in the simulation environment
Spectrogram of Simulated WaveForms
Propagation Environment
Propagation channel between radar and target
Sampling Rate
WavePropagation
Operating frequency
Simulator Output
The simulator provides JSON-formatted I&Q data as output. It is enhanced with metadata like time-stamps.
It can be directly used in FreeScopes or passed to analytic environments like MATLAB with SkyRadar's SDK
Signal Processing
Signal Processing is done in FreeScopes, based on
IQ Data
Power Detection
Teacher Panel
The teacher panels allows to set the simulator. He / she can place the targets, define the radar type, elevation angle, range, range resolution, Gain and more.
When purchasing simulator and jammer, the panel also allows to set the jammer.
At the leading edge of security provision within its key markets, Cryptomathic closely supports its global customer base with many multinationals as longstanding clients.
