Abstract

A radar target simulator with no lower target distance limitation and continuous distance emulation is provided. Said radar target simulator comprises a receiving unit configured to receive a radar signal from a radar under test and to provide a corresponding receive signal, and a ramp slope estimating unit. In this context, the ramp slope estimating unit is configured to track the ramp slope of the radar under test on the basis of the receive signal.
