Radar Toolbox Product Description
Design and analyze monostatic, bistatic, and multifunction radar systems
Radar Toolbox provides algorithms and tools for designing, simulating, analyzing, and testing
monostatic, bistatic, and multifunction radar systems. It supports workflows from requirements to
field data analysis for airborne, ground-based, shipborne, and automotive applications.
The Radar Designer app enables you to perform interactive link budget analysis and design trade-offs
at the radar equation level. The toolbox provides models for transmitters, receivers, propagation
channels, targets, interferers, and clutter in a virtual environment. You can use these models to
generate synthetic data in complex RF environments.
Radar Toolbox includes algorithms for processing signals and data collected from hardware. For
simulation acceleration or rapid prototyping, the toolbox supports C code generation.
