MATLAB Code Implementation for Radar Equation Simulation

This document discusses radar equation simulation programs implemented in MATLAB. Such simulation programs encompass multiple aspects of radar theory, including the radar range equation, radar energy equation, and pulse compression processing. The radar range equation calculates the distance between the target and the radar system, typically implemented using the standard form: R_max = [(P_t * G_t * G_r * λ^2 * σ) / ((4π)^3 * k * T_s * B * SNR_min)]^(1/4). The radar energy equation describes the relationship between transmitted and received energy, often modeled through energy conservation principles and signal propagation losses. Pulse compression processing enhances radar signal resolution by applying matched filtering or correlation techniques to the returned signals, commonly implemented using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations and windowing functions. These equations and processing techniques form essential components of comprehensive radar equation simulation programs, where MATLAB's signal processing toolbox provides fundamental functions for implementing these algorithms efficiently.
