Abstract: An RCS reduction surface for reducing a radar cross section of an object is described. The RCS reduction surface comprises at least one absorber portion, wherein the absorber portion is configured to absorb radar waves. The RCS reduction surface further comprises at least one reflecting portion, wherein the reflecting portion is configured to reflect radar waves. A first plane being associated with a top surface of the absorber portion and a second plane being associated with a top surface of the reflecting portion are spaced from each other by a predefined distance. The predefined distance is configured such that radar waves with a predefined wavelength range that are reflected at the absorber portion and at the surface of the reflecting portion interfere destructively with each other. Further, an RCS reduction member and a radar test system are described.

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.

Abstract: A laser nozzle has an inner end adapted to be secured to a laser head and an outer end to be disposed adjacent a workpiece. An axial bore extends longitudinally therethrough with an inlet end and an outlet end and provides a passage therethrough for the laser beam and a cutting gas. The bore narrows at a point along its length spaced from the outlet end to define a throat portion in the bore, and at least one auxiliary rectilinear passage extending from the throat portion to the outer end of the nozzle adjacent the outlet end of the bore for passage of cutting gas therethrough. The nozzle, or the cutting head and nozzle, may be rotated to locate the auxiliary passage in a position trailing the laser beam. In another embodiment, a multiplicity of circumferentially spaced auxiliary passages may be opened or closed by a regulator to provide flow of cutting gas through passages which trial the laser beam.
