RTS Radar Target Simulator

MWF’s RTS Radar Target Simulator offers an economical means of evaluating the performance of millimeter wave radar systems by capturing, modifying and retransmitting radar signals back to the radar under test.

The Relative Velocity of the vehicle in front is generated by adjusting the Doppler shift of the received signal. The Size and Distance to the vehicle in front is generated by adjusting the signal level and delay of the received signal using optical and coax cable delay lines.
