SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NEAR FIELD TARGET SIMULATION

摘要

A simulation device and a system and method for using the simulation device are disclosed. The simulation device may contain a plurality of antenna elements positionable on or near a radar or other sensing device. The simulation device may be configured to control the plurality of antenna elements to transmit signals that simulate a reflection of an electromagnetic signal off of one or more targets of particular sizes at particular azimuths, elevations, distances, trajectories, and/or velocities.

1. A computer-implemented method for simulating target objects, the method comprising:
receiving parameters reflecting characteristics of one more target objects to be simulated; receiving a first beam of electromagnetic radiation; calculating, by a processor, characteristics of a beam of electromagnetic radiation expected to reflect off of the one or more target objects having the parameters; and transmitting a second beam of electromagnetic radiation having the calculated characteristics.
