The FMCW target generator operates with one patch antenna. It consists of a measuring system to analyze the frequency modulation of the targeted radar and of a target generator to jam the radar with artificial targets. The target generator is placed on a static tripod.
A comfortable GUI allows for easy operations with only short familiarization
time required.
Measuring System
This subsystem may be used for measuring RF characteristics of K-band receivers, transmitters and transceivers. It sends a programmable, highly stable carrier frequency from 23…25GHz to a 4×4 path array antenna.
At the same time, the RF generator is used as LO for the receiver.
The receiver part allows measuring incoming RF power at a separate patch antenna. It also delivers signals for a high precision frequency determination of the incoming RF signal.
Target Simulator
This subsystem simulates a moving object generating a stereo doppler signal.
It receives the 24GHz carrier signal of a K-band doppler module and sends back a signal corresponding to an approaching target with a programmable frequency of -9999Hz to 9999Hz, where the sign simulates the direction of the target.
Graphical User Interface
The target generator comes with a state-of-the art office type Laptop computer, allowing for control of the system and for visualization.
