ABSTRACT:
This application is directed to a virtual radar target generator and a method of operating thereof. The virtual radar target generator includes a transceiver and a controller coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver includes a transmission antenna and is adapted to receive a signal transmitted from a radar antenna, store signal information representative of the received signal within a digital radio frequency memory, and transmit an output signal representative of a virtual target such that at least a fraction of the output is received by the radar antenna. The transmission antenna and the radar antenna are positioned within a space that is at least partially defined by a radome. The transmission antenna transmits the output signal toward the radome such that at least a fraction of the output signal is reflected toward the radar antenna.
