Abstract
A system and method are provided for emulating echo signals using test equipment, including an antenna and an I/Q mixer, in response to a radar signal transmitted by a radar under test. The method includes receiving the radar signal from the radar under test, where a reflection component of the radar signal is reflected from at least the antenna; mixing the received radar signal as a local oscillator (LO) signal with I and Q signals at the I/Q mixer to output a mixing product as a radio frequency (RF) signal, where a leakage component of the LO signal leaks through the I/Q mixer; substantially canceling the reflection component of the radar signal using the leakage component of the LO signal; and transmitting the RF signal as the emulated echo signal to the radar under test, wherein the emulated echo signal indicates at least a range to the emulated target.
