Claim 11:
12. A method for simulating at least one radar target for testing a radar device under test, comprising:
providing at least two antenna units, arranged along a first angle under investigation, wherein each of the at least two antenna units comprises a transmission antenna and a reception antenna separate from the transmission antenna,
selectively activating and deactivating antenna units of the at least two antenna units, and thereby generating a simulated radar target along the first angle under investigation, when activated,
receiving, by the reception antenna, the radar signal transmitted by the radar device under test, and
transmitting, by the transmission antenna, a simulated scatter signal, based on the radar signal transmitted by the radar device under test, received by the reception antenna, back to the radar device under test,
wherein the radar target simulator frontend is configured to simulate a near field radar target by jointly activating at least two adjacent antenna units of the at least two antenna units.
