Radar Test Range Design Considerations.

Abstract

This report presents considerations for and the preliminary design of a synthetic aperture RADAR (SAR) test range. The purpose is to present a methodology and conceptual design for a Flexible Test Bed (FTB) digital processor operational test. The objectives of this operational test are to: (1) determine whether the processor modifications improved image quality, (2) establish a processor performance baseline, and (3) determine whether the system will attain desired levels of probability of detection. It is assumed that SAI would develop a test design while GAC will fabricate and install the required radar test range.
