Abstract
A new generation of Surface Movement Radar (S-MRN: Surface MiniRadar Network) has been designed with radar image processing tools to extract the orientation angle of aircrafts moving on the airport surface. This chapter describes a radar signal and aircraft images simulator suitable for providing the output image for a real airport scenario. The need for a radar signal and image simulator arises from test and design of plot extraction algorithms, image processing algorithms, track-while-scan algorithms for extended targets, and the creation of a database of aircraft image templates from different angles of sight for cross-correlation with real radar images. The proposed radar images simulator provides simulations of the Tx and Rx chains of a Surface Movement Radar (like S-MRN) and the radar cross sections of an aircraft. The software provides an electro-magnetic model for an aircraft obtained either by physical optics theory or by rough surface theory, suitable to millimeter band and processing of the signal received from each radar resolution cell. Each position of an aircraft with respect to the airport scenario is simulated, providing an image of the aircraft like the new generation S-MRN image.
