  • Publication number: 20210373122
    Abstract: A radar target simulator front end, configured to simulate at least one radar target for testing a radar device under test is provided. The radar target simulator front end comprises at least two antenna units, arranged along a first angle under investigation. The at least two antenna units are configured to be selectively activated and deactivated. Whereby each antenna unit of the at least two antenna units generates a simulated radar target along the first angle under investigation, when activated.

  • Publication number: 20210033717
    Abstract: A multiple input multiple output imaging array for incident angle resolved images with respect to a device under test is provided. The multiple input multiple output imaging array comprises a redundant array of transmit and receive antennas and a controller. In this context, the controller is configured to implement a selection scheme, wherein the selection scheme selects the respective transmit and receive antenna pairs used to create the corresponding image.

  • Publication number: 20200049814
    Abstract: A method for determining the three-dimensional alignment of components of a radar system is described. The radar system is provided that comprises at least one portion which is permeable by radar signals. The radar system is imaged by using millimeter waves emitted by an imaging system. In the image obtained, it is determined the highest magnitude reflection coinciding with at least one of an expected location and an expected distance of the surface of a first component of the radar system being of interest. At least one of the position and the distance of that surface is determined. From the measurement, the relative phase information received from each portion of that surface at the determined position and/or the determined distance is obtained. Processing the phase information obtained so as to obtain the azimuth and tilt of the surface. Further, a testing system is described.
