Research on the Radio Frequency Simulation Method for Wide-band Radar Complex Target based on Physical Optics and Physical Diffraction Theory

A radio frequency (RF) simulation technique based on high frequency hybrid method is proposed for complex target. Firstly, the radar cross section (RCS) of the target is obtained by vector addition of facets scattering field and wedges scattering field that are calculated respectively by physical optics (PO) method and physical theory of diffraction (PTD). Then, scattering centers of the target are extracted based on multi scattering center theory, and the radar echo signal is simulated through radio frequency simulation system (RFSS). This technique could improve the fidelity of radar signal simulation and the confidence of RF simulation test. At last, simulation results validate the technique.
