The performance of long range radar is affected by the atmospheric conditions and terrain, as well as the beam operation of the radar system. In this paper, a modeling and simulation(M&S) tool was developed considering the external environment and radar systems of long range radars for performance prediction, and was described using the verification method. Atmospheric refraction and wave propagation were simulated using APM, to analyze the effects of the external environment. The beam template of radar, which is used for actual radar systems, was utilized to analyze the effects of beam operation. The developed M&S tool was verified by comparison with the experimental results obtained from three different situations and confirmed to be highly effective in predicting the performance of long range radar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
