Highly scalable radar target simulator for autonomous driving test beds

Automotive radar sensors are key elements for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and autonomous driving. To test the behaviour of these systems in complex and potentially dangerous traffic scenarios a test system with the ability to simulate realistic scenarios is required. In this paper we present the implementation of a modular and highly scalable Radar Target Simulator, which is capable to simulate multiple independent moving targets with realistic parameters.
