A test target simulator (TTS) based on a fiber-optic delay line (FODL) has been designed for realistic testing and characterizing of wideband pulsed Doppler radars. The TTS can simulate one or two targets at different radar cross sections (RCS's), different Doppler, and different ranges in the presence of uncorrelated noise or interference. With one target, clutter and multipath effects can also be simulated. In a closed-loop test of a pulsed Doppler radar transceiver, the variable control of the RCS can be used to test the radar's dynamic range. Simulating two targets and varying the range and Doppler of each target in the closed-loop test can evaluate the radar's range and Doppler resolution, respectively.< >
