Abstract
The emulation of real scenarios is a topic of considerable interest in several radar applications especially for determining the performance of target detection against ground clutter. The development of new applications calls for emulators able to physically reproduce real scenarios. This paper introduces a new employment of the Reverberating Chamber (RC) as emulator of radar ground clutter Doppler spectra. Experiments accomplished at the Università di Napoli Parthenope (formerly Istituto Universitario Navale, IUN) show how by properly modulating the velocity of stirrers used for measurements, real scenarios, such as windblown vegetation under several wind speed conditions, can be emulated in RC
