Claim 0:
1. A radar target simulator frontend, configured to simulate at least one radar target for testing a radar device under test,
comprising 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,
wherein the at least two antenna units are configured to be selectively activated and deactivated, each antenna unit of the at least two antenna units generating a simulated radar target along the first angle under investigation, when activated,
wherein the reception antenna is configured to receive the radar signal transmitted by the radar device under test,
wherein the transmission antenna is configured to transmit 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, and
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.
