Problem statement. The compensation problem of the amplitude error occurring when modeling radar targets using matrix simulators is considered. The relations that reveal the concept of this error are given. The example shows that the amplitude of the simulated echo signal differs from the amplitude of the real one.Objective. Justification of a method for correcting the amplitude error observed when simulating echo signals from radar targets using emitter matrices.Results. It is shown that when the scanning radiation pattern is oriented normal to the matrix base, the amplitude of the simulated echo signal does not depend on the angular target position. Based on this, a method was proposed to eliminate the error through pre-distortion of the echo signal amplitude. The ratio for calculating the predistortion multiplier coefficient is obtained. In the framework of a numerical experiment, the amplitude of the simulated echo signal was estimated for various angular positions of the scanning radiation pattern without taking into account predistortion and with predistortion. The experimental results confirmed the correction effectiveness.Practical implications. The results obtained allow increasing the adequacy of modeling radar objects by matrix simulators by ensuring that the amplitude of the simulated echo signal corresponds to the amplitude of the real one.
