The invention relates to a radar target intermediate frequency (IR) echo simulation system based on multi-beam amplitude-comparison angle measurement and a control method thereof, relating to the field of radar target echo simulation. The system comprises three target echo simulation boards and an arbitrary waveform generator instrument fixture, wherein the echo simulation boards are designed with a computer module PC104, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), direct digital synthesis (DDS) technique and a simulation circuit as cores; and the arbitrary waveform generator instrument fixture is designed with instrument programming control as the core. According to the invention, simultaneous 6-channel simulated target IR echo simulation of the radar of the multi-beam amplitude-comparison angle measurement system is realized, parameters of the simulated target echo such as distance, delay, echo amplitude, Doppler shift, pattern, direction pattern modulation, noise superposition and the like can be controlled, single-channel switching and output of dual-beam echo is realized, and the test use requirement of the radar signal processor of the system is met. In the invention, the arbitrary waveform generator instrument frock is utilized, thus improving the amplitude precision of the output echo signals; and the control program in the FPGA in the target echo simulation boards is designed by the soft IP core, thus providing convenience for hardware transplanting and clipping.
