  • Publication number: 20170363719
    Abstract: A radar simulation device for testing a device under test with respect to at least one radar scenario is provided. The radar simulation device comprises a memory, a radar scenario simulator, and two or more antennas. The memory is configured to store the radar scenario with respect to the device under test, and to provide the radar scenario to the radar scenario simulator. The radar scenario simulator is configured to receive a first number of radar signals from the device under test via the at least two antennas, to simulate the at radar scenario by manipulating the first number of radar signals according to the radar scenario and generating a resulting second number of manipulated radar signals, and to transmit the second number of manipulated radar signals to the device under test via the at least two antennas.

  • Publication number: 20170212216
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a radar signal is provided. The radar signal is generated from a digital reference signal. The measuring device comprises a memory configured to store a digitized radar signal derived from the radar signal and the digital reference signal. The measuring device further comprises a radar compression filter configured to filter the digitized radar signal, resulting in a correlation of the digitized radar signal with the digital reference signal. The measuring device further comprises a frequency shifter configured to successively perform a frequency shift of either the digital reference signal or the radar signal with at least two simulated Doppler shift frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20170139038
    Abstract: The invention is related to a method and a signal generator for generating a sea clutter simulation signal used as an input signal for a radar system. The method comprises the steps of: modeling of gravity waves using a physical simulation of a sea surface; modeling of capillary waves using stochastic processes; and adding the modeled capillary waves to the modeled gravity waves.
