Abstract: A testing system for testing the performance of a detector is described, comprising a target generator for generating a target and a control unit that comprises at least one of a processing sub-unit, an analyzing sub-unit and a calculation sub-unit. The control unit is connected to the target generator such that the control unit is configured to control the target generator for controlling the target generated. The target generator is configured to transmit signals to the detector and/or to receive signals from the detector. The control unit is further configured to receive and to process data related to a detected target by the detector wherein the control unit is configured to determine a constant false alarm rate based on the data received by the detector and/or the data of the target generator for characterizing the performance of the detector. Furthermore, a method for testing the performance of a detector is described.
