Thirty-Two Aircraft Radar Track Simulator

This paper describes a Radar Track Simulator which generates the track of thirty-two aircraft in x, y, and h coordinates accurate to one-hundreth of a mile and produces video accurate to one-hundreth of a mile in range, one milliradian in azimuth and two milliradians in elevation. The output video signals are modified by the radar beam pattern, aircraft scintillation noise, radar receiver noise, fading of video signal with range, and blip-scan effects to produce a realistic display.
