Simulator also has provisions for enabling ECM at target side, so that testing ECCM
features of RADAR (DUT) is possible. The unit is highly portable and controlled through
Ethernet from user friendly GUI running on PC.

The RTS takes the RADAR generated signal as input and produces output, which consists
the effect of modeled targets with different characteristics, propagation losses, whether
conditions, clutter and Doppler shifts, Range and velocity. This output can be used as input
to RADAR receiver to test the performance under different conditions. The product
consists of control unit running on PC with GUI connected to embedded unit over
Ethernet. The Embedded unit provides connections for RADAR signal (in) and target
simulated signal (out).
The product is available from 100 MHz to 12 GHz (C& X Bands) frequency range
