Welcome to RadarSimPy’s Documentation!

User Guide

Step-by-step guides to help you get started with RadarSimPy and understand key concepts.

• User Guide

Getting Started

• Overview - What RadarSimPy can model, simulate and process

• Dependencies - Python packages, platform and hardware requirements

• Installation - Installing the pre-built module and configuring a license

Concepts & Conventions

• Radar System Model - Transmitter, Receiver and Radar, and the shape of the output

• Coordinate Systems - Global and local frames, Euler angles, azimuth and elevation

• Doppler Sign Convention - The sign of the Doppler frequency, and how to convert it

Simulation Guides

• Transmitter and Waveform - Waveform, pulse train, modulation and the transmit array

• Receiver and Baseband - Sampling, baseband type, noise budget, range gate and the receive array

• Noise Simulation - Receiver thermal noise and transmitter phase noise

• Interference Simulation - Mutual interference from another radar sharing the band

• Ray-Tracing Simulation - Ray density, fidelity level and target flags for 3D meshes

• Animated Targets (glTF 2.0 / GLB) - Driving targets from keyframed glTF 2.0 / GLB motion

• Long-Range Stretch Processing - Range gating for long-range FMCW and stretch radars
