The invention, which relates to the technical field of the radar target simulation, discloses a general signal generator for radar target simulation. With the signal generator, a defect that the existing radar target signal generator is based on a special-purpose signal generator and only serve a radar system with a specific type in terms of frequency band coverage and function setting and thus the application range is limited can be solved. The signal generator comprises an embedded main control computer, a timing sequence control unit, an attenuation drive, a local oscillation module, a filtering, amplifying and limiting amplitude power divider, a plurality of digital radio frequency storage and playback modules, a plurality of Doppler frequency simulation modules, a radar cross section control module, a noise modulation module, a microwave down mixer, and IQ up mixing unit and the like. The output terminal of the microwave down mixer is connected with the filtering, amplifying and limiting amplitude power divider; the multiple digital radio frequency storage and playback modules are connected to the filtering, amplifying and limiting amplitude power divider; and the output terminal of each digital radio frequency storage and playback module is connected with one Doppler frequency simulation module.
