Abstract: A testing device for testing a distance sensor includes a receiving element for receiving an electromagnetic free-space wave as a receive signal, and a radiating element for radiating a simulated reflection signal. The receive signal or a signal derived therefrom is routed via a time delay circuit, and is thus time-delayed to a time-delayed signal. The time-delayed signal or a signal derived therefrom is radiated as the simulated reflection signal. The time delay circuit has an analog delay path and a digital delay path. The analog delay path implements shorter time delays than the digital delay path, apart from a possible overlap region. An input switch is used to switch the receive signal or the signal derived therefrom to the input of the analog delay path or to the input of the digital delay path, and the signal becomes the time-delayed signal after passing through the connected delay path.

Abstract: A programmable fiber-optic delay line simulates spatial distances for an environment sensor. The programmable fiber-optic delay line comprises: at least three optical transfer switches interconnected by a plurality of lengths of optical fiber, wherein the at least three optical transfer switches with the plurality of lengths of optical fiber are configured to provide a continuous delay line having a plurality of different selectable delay values, wherein the different delay values are selectable based on switch positions of the at least three optical transfer switches. A first terminal of a first optical transfer switch of the at least three optical transfer switches is connected to a third optical transfer switch of the at least three optical transfer switches, enabling bypassing of a second optical transfer switch of the at least three optical transfer switches.

CPC classification number: G01S7/4095 , G01S7/497
Abstract: A testing device for testing a distance sensor includes: a receiver for receiving an electromagnetic free-space wave as a receive signal; an analog-to-digital converter configured to, in a simulation mode, convert the receive signal into a sampled signal; a signal-processing unit configured to: delay the sampled signal or a modulated sampled signal to form a delayed sampled signal or a modulated delayed sampled signal; and modulate, upon the sampled signal or upon the delayed sampled signal, a predeterminable Doppler signature as a characteristic motion profile of a reflecting object to be simulated to form the modulated sampled signal or the modulated delayed sample signal; a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the modulated or the modulated delayed sampled signal into a simulated reflected signal; and a transmitter configured to radiate the simulated reflected signal or a simulated reflected signal derived from the simulated reflected signal as an output signal.

Abstract: A signal delay device includes a demultiplexer, D∈ delay means, D additional delay means, a multiplexer, and a control unit. For each delay means, a delay input and a demultiplexer output are connected, and a delay output and a multiplexer input are connected. For each additional delay means, an additional delay input is connected to a delay signal path, and an additional delay output and a multiplexer input are connected. The demultiplexer divides an input data word stream into parallel data word streams. Each delay means will delay the data words in the parallel data word streams. Each additional delay means will delay the data words in the delayed parallel data word stream by an additional delay time. The control unit controls the multiplexer such that an output data word stream corresponding to the input data word stream with a time delay is output.
