Description
Summary:Due to the high cost of real experiments, radar data simulation plays an important role in radar applications. However, the accuracy and the calculation speed of existing simulation methods is limited by the model error and the heavy calculation of electromagnetic simulation. Here, a radar data simulation method based on deep generative network (DGN) is proposed. DGN is generative model involving deep network as the representation tool, in which the model is trained with labelled data. When the training phase is finished, the generative model can generate data samples which are similar to the real samples. The performance of the DGN is evaluated on the ground-based radar dataset, and the results show that the distribution of the generated radar data is similar to the training radar data.
