Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for simulating target objects, the method comprising: receiving parameters corresponding to characteristics of one or more target objects to be simulated; receiving, by a simulation device, a first beam of near-field electromagnetic radiation from a radar device, the simulation device having an antenna array greater than or substantially equal to an aperture of the radar device, the antenna array being substantially transparent to a normal operation of the radar device; calculating, by a processor based on the first beam of the near-field electromagnetic radiation, characteristics of a beam of far-field electromagnetic radiation expected to be received by the radar device and reflect off of the one or more target objects having the parameters; and transmitting, by the simulation device, a second beam based on the calculated characteristics corresponding to the beam of the far-field electromagnetic radiation.
