A Radar Target Simulator Concept for Close-Range Targets with Micro-Doppler Signatures

In this publication a concept of a radar target simulator is presented, designed to simulate micro-Doppler signatures at short distances. The progress of the project is still at the beginning of the development process, but nevertheless the motivation and first partial results will be presented. In the first part, the requirements of the radar target simulator are derived from measurements of vulnerable road users, which will demonstrate the possibilities and advantages of such a system. The second part deals with the system design and the first measurements of the system.
