Summary :

A program is developed to simulate the signal received by a bistatic pulse radar for a defined scenario. The signal collected at the receiving antenna is calculated as a function of time by taking into account the vectorial aspect of the electromagnetic waves and various elements operating in the radar radiolink. The radar radiolink is designed in a modular structure for a general configuration where the transmitter, the target and the receiver are moving. Modules such as elements characterizing the antennas radiation or defining the target scattering can be inserted in accordance with the desired radar scenario. Then the developed model permits to simulate a wide range of radar scenarios where returns from targets and clutter can be individually processed and their characteristics can be investigated in time or frequency. The interest of this model is great because it permits, for a defined scenario, to generate radar data which can be used in signal processing algorithms for target detection, clutter suppression or target classification. This paper shows the implementation of the simulation program considering a concrete radar scenario. The presented scenario deals with the simulation of the sea clutter occurring in a bistatic radar radiolink over the sea surface. In this application where the sea surface is considered as the target, the electric field scattered from the sea surface is calculated by assuming that the surface is described by two independent scales of roughness.
