Abstract

A radar target simulator for simulating radar targets is provided. The radar target simulator has an analogue-to-digital converter having a first clock generator and a digital-to-analogue converter having a second clock generator. The analogue-to-digital converter is configured to receive a radar signal transmitted by a radar system as an input signal, while the digital-to-analogue converter is configured to return an output signal to the radar system for simulation of the radar target. Further, the first and the second clock generator are configured to operate the analogue-to-digital converter and the digital-to-analogue converter at a different sampling rate in each case.
