An Intermittent Signal Simulator for Intercept Equipment Testing

Abstract

A signal simulator has been designed and constructed to produce artificially the signal intercepts of rotating radars. It consists essentially of a pulse generator circuit (to simulate a transmitted signal) and a mechanical-optical gating unit (to simulate the rotating antenna patterns) and is intended for use in conjunction with standard r-f signal generators. The pulse generator produces pulse trains of variable pulse repetition frequency and variable pulse width, while the gate allows the pulses to modulate the r-f generator, which delivers the required signal to the receiver input. In actual tests the equipment proved satisfactory, certain minor limitations being noted.
