摘要: A LiDAR test system for testing a LiDAR device under test is described. The LiDAR test system includes an optical module and a target simulator. The LiDAR device under test has a predetermined field of view. The optical module is configured to redirect a LiDAR signal emitted by the LiDAR device under test from a predetermined portion of the field of view to the target simulator, wherein the predetermined portion is adaptable. The target simulator includes a receiver configured to receive the LiDAR signal redirected by the optical module. The target simulator includes a manipulation unit configured to manipulate the received LiDAR signal, thereby generating a manipulated LiDAR signal.

摘要: A computer-implemented method for determining the phase center of an antenna under test comprises the following steps: acquiring a transmitted near-field or far-field signal of the antenna under test, by rotational movement of a measuring antenna relative to the antenna under test, the rotation covering at least the angle between the z axis and the x axis of the antenna, the rotational movement covering a spherical measurement region, the acquisition being performed at different angles phi to the z axis and while rotating, relative to the measuring antenna, the antenna under test around its z axis, obtaining far-field phase data by applying a field transformation on the near-filed or far-filed signal obtained, determining the main beam peak location within the measurement region, and transforming the coordinate center of the far-field data based on the main beam peak location in order to determine the phase center.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a multistatic radar system and a method for a spatially resolved detection of an object under test. The multistatic radar system includes an at least two-dimensional multistatic array of antenna elements having an at least partially shared coverage area. At least one data processing circuit is coupled to the array. Analog and/or digital beamforming is performed thereby obtaining at least one image of the object under test at least partially being located within the shared coverage area. Processing the image obtained is used to resolve at least one scattering center of the object under test. A spatially resolved scattering center distribution is determined based on the image obtained.

摘要: A method for correcting a radiation pattern is described by using a system having a device under test with at least one antenna and a measurement antenna. The device under test is located in a placement zone. A radiation pattern of the device under test is measured. A corrected measurement antenna pattern is determined to compensate for an offset of the at least one antenna of the device under test with respect to a coordinate center of the placement zone towards which the measurement antenna is orientated. The corrected measurement antenna pattern is applied on the measured radiation pattern of the device under test to obtain a corrected radiation pattern of the device under test. Furthermore, a system and a computer program for correcting a radiation pattern are described.

摘要: 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.
