A simulation tool of a sky wave over-the-horizon radar performance and detection process includesmany stages based on different models, which creates a synthetic searching scenario as a first stepfollowed by a digital signal processing to detect and locate a potential target. Its accuracy willdepend on the quality of the input and adequacy degree of the model assumptions. A sensitivityanalysis of this simulation tool is carried out analyzing outputs’ variation as a consequence ofchanges in input factors. The architecture of this tool allow easy implementation and the study ofinput variables impact on detection and location results that can be useful towards dimensioningfeatures and elements of a real radar.
