Abstract
Radar system simulation usually needs to consider not only the modeling work of its static system structure but also the representation of dynamic behaviors. Traditionally, the standard Simulation Model Portability (SMP) published by European Space Agency is very suitable to build the structure of entities and their internal and external static relationships as well, but it shows pale to specify complex dynamic behaviors, such as that of radar system. To describe the behavioral aspect, we applied Synchronous data flow (SDF) and combined SMP with it. If so, one can benefit from a loose coupling way to design radar system in two different kinds of formalisms, and can simultaneously support structural modeling and behavioral modeling. For this purpose, the goal of this paper is to design a mechanism of how to combine and use these two formalisms together to form a novel simulation language. As a proof of concept, we built a set of functional models of a general radar system by using this new language and simulation results show its proper availability.
