the front panel. The antenna segments and transmit antennas can be controlled indi-
vidually, if necessary.
Using only the transmit antennas of a certain segment (no connection on the Rx anten-
nas), you can simulate interfering radar signals.
An optional second line of antennas doubles the number of antennas in each
R&S
QAT. To simulate even more radar objects, you can combine multiple R&S
QAT in
a single setup.

You can configure the R&S
QAT such that the antenna segments simulate a single
object or use antenna segments individually to simulate several objects. This allows for
the following scenarios.
●
R&S
QAT with a single antenna array line:
Simulate 1 object by using one or more antennas to simulate that object.

●
R&S
QAT with two antenna array lines:
Simulate 2 objects by using one or more antennas in each line to simulate those
objects.
