Title: Simulation system for testing a radar system

Abstract

A simulation system for use in testing a radar system comprises a coarse delay module, a fine delay module, and a doppler shift module. The coarse delay module is configured to receive a first stream of digital data samples that are sampled from a radar signal at a sample time period or a second stream of digital data samples that are processed by another simulation system component and delay the digital data samples by a selectable first delay time that is greater than or equal to the sample time period. The fine delay module is configured to receive the digital data samples and filter the digital data samples to represent delay by a selectable second delay time that is less than the sample time period. The doppler shift module is configured to receive the digital data samples and adjust a value of a frequency content of the fine delayed samples.
