based on the BROWN model. Therefore, it is superior to the traditional algorithms in application range and as well as in precision.And the thesis also studies the Offset Centre of Gravity(OCOG) algorithm,which is also a robust echo-tracking and height-calculation algorithm.All these achievements in the research will offer the theoretical foundation for echo simulation.Research on the scattering characteristics of ground radar echo. The video echo simulation model and power echo simulation model of wide-beam radar altimter are proposed, the principle and method of two kinds of models are discussed in detail, which offers the theoretical foundation for echo simulation.Taking into account that the fidelity of simulation waveforms has a significant impact on system performance, the thesis analysises the factors affecting the accuracy of simulation.The concept of dynamic threshold and sampling time window are proposed, which can effectively reduce the amount of data collection and data transfer pressure. A secondary cache mechanism is designed to improve the efficiency of bus bandwidth utilization. These will help to solve the problem of high-speed acquisition and real time storage of radar echo.In the aspects of system implementation, several key technologies are discussed thoroughly in this dissertation, including:Real-time simulation:one of the key difficulties of this system is to accomplish the computation and synthesis of radar echo in one millisecond.To solve this problem,DSP parallel processing network is adopted,instead of using single DSP.Meanwhile,the algorithms in model computation and parallel processing are optimized.The method of recise control of echo delay (i.e.synchronization control) is studied, a new counting method, called dual-clock couting,is proposed. It counts at both the rising edge and falling edge of the clock signal.In this way, the clock frequency can be reduced to half of its original.With this method, accuracy of 2.5ns can be achieved when
