The design, development and use of a Matlab toolbox for radar modeling, simulation and signal processing

We have developed a Matlab toolbox, called DBT, for radar modeling, simulation and signal processing. It has been successfully used in radar and array processing applications for processing of measured sensor data and for research. In this paper we want to share some experiences from the design, development and use of DBT. We also make a comparison with a new similar toolbox from Mathworks.
