ABSTRACT:
A radar test system for testing a collision avoidance radar system. The radar test system includes circuitry to downconvert a signal from the collision avoidance radar to an intermediate frequency signal, to delay the intermediate frequency signal to simulate the delay of a return signal from an object located a particular distance from the collision avoidance radar system, and to upconvert and transmit the intermediate frequency signal back to the collision avoidance radar system to determine if the collision avoidance radar system provides accurate distance readings. The radar test system further couples the intermediate frequency signal to a spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer can be used to determine if the collision avoidance radar system is operating within the 76-77 GHz frequency band allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The radar test system further couples the intermediate frequency signal to a power meter. The power meter can be utilized to determine the power of the signal transmitted from the collision avoidance radar system.
