This report describes the elements of a simulations program that was designed to perform a realistic evaluation of a variety of reply processing techniques, antenna design parameters and receiver characteristics for a DABS sensor. The reply processing techniques are limited to the generation of information bit and monopulse off-boresight azimuth estimates for DABS downlink messages. The report describes the detailed characteristics of two elements of the simulation program; the data generator and reply processor, and the high degree of versatility incorporated within these elements to allow for a great many performance tradeoff studies.
