Abstract
An apparatus for producing an electromagnetic signal which simulates the radar signature of a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus contains a means for receiving a radar signal, modulation means for modifying the radar signal, means for dividing the modulated signal into at least a first divided signal and a second divided signal, means for producing a Doppler composite signal, means for mixing the composite Doppler signal with the first divided signal, means for attenuating the second divided signal, and means for combining the attenuated second divided signal and the composite Doppler signal.
Claims11
An apparatus for producing an electromagnetic signal, wherein said apparatus is comprised of:
- (a) means for receiving a radar signal which has a frequency of from about 1 to about 94 gigacycles;
- (b) modulation means for modifying said radar signal, thereby producing a modulated signal;
- (c) means for dividing said modulated signal into at least a first divided signal and a second divided signal;
- (d) means for producing a Doppler composite signal produced by combining a third signal, and a fourth signal;
- (e) means for reducing the velocity of propagation of said radar signal thereby producing a delayed radar signal;
- (f) means for modulating said composite Doppler signal with said delayed radar signal, thereby producing a modulated delayed radar signal;
- (g) means for attenuating said modulated delayed radar signal, thereby producing an attenuated modulated delayed radar signal;
- and
- (h) means for combining said delayed radar signal and said composite Doppler signal, thereby producing a combined signal;
- and
- (i) means for transmitting said combined signal to a radar source.
