Abstract

This paper is an investigation into the development of a digital computer model that will enable a wide range of radar system configurations to be evaluated.

The solution in the past has been to evaluate each system at a few salient points and leave the remaining parts of the problem to an intuitive development. Alternatively, a system is configured for the sole purpose of evaluating the system.

The proposed model solution consists of the development of a digital computer program which consists of two modes. The first mode is made up of a set of subroutine modes to model each of the radar parameters. The second, solving or receiving mode, obtains by calculation, the solution to the radar equation.

The computer outputs obtained from this program model have shown excellent agreement with theory and experimental laboratory radars.
