A broadband coherent radar target simulator is composed of a receiving end, a transmitting end, a power divider, a lower mixer, an upper mixer, an instantaneous measurement receiver, a DSP processor, an interference modulator, a PC, a target echo delay compensation, a frequency modulation step frequency local oscillator and a high resolution radar signal simulation module. A shipborne radar transmits an X-wave band frequency modulation step frequency signal, a radar simulator receives the signal via a horn antenna, and the frequency modulation step frequency local oscillator generates a local oscillator signal; an intermediate frequency signal is generated after the dechirp processing of the lower mixer and is divided into two signals by the power divider, with one signal sent to the instantaneous measurement receiver to complete the measurements of radar carrier frequency signal, radar pulse repetition period, pulse width and pulse amplitude parameter, and with the other one sent to the high resolution radar signal simulation module to complete the simulation of a high resolution one dimensional object range image; the target echo delay compensation is used to solve the increase RMS attenuation problem of a dechirp time delay, and the compensated intermediate frequency signal is sent to the interference modulator. The broadband coherent radar target simulator of the invention is scientific in conception, less in use device number and low in cost.
