The paper describes a software-defined radar target simulator with DRFM. One may use such a device to test radars under development and evaluate their reliability in environments with radio frequency interference. The paper describes in detail a general algorithm of the target simulation and its modules for the simulation of range and speed. The authors also implemented the frequency shift module for the simulator in Xilinx System Generator and wrote this module in VHDL. One may find in the paper a comparison of the FPGA resources required for such implementations.
