3.0 SystemVue as a Platform for Simulation
The top-level system platform structure is shown in Figure 3-1. From the block diagram,
the main models include signal source, transmitter, antenna, T/R switch, RCS, clutter,
jammer, receiver, signal processors, and measurements. Sub libraries are also listed.
The major task is how the designer creates their own algorithm using SystemVue.
