Radar calibration system and method for moving a radar calibration target along a desired movement path

A method for moving a calibration target having a driver with a reflector mounted and a localizer thereon along a desired movement path, the method comprising the steps of:

• defining the desired movement path;
• determining a current position of the radar calibration target by the localizer wherein the reflector is electrically connected to the localizer and acts as an antenna for the localizer;
• wherein the reflector is designed as a closed sphere entirely accommodating the driver;
• comparing the determined position with a corresponding position of the desired movement path;
• and
• generating control signals for the driver based on the comparison result such that a movement caused by the control signals reduces a deviation of the determined position and the corresponding position or to move the radar calibration target towards a next position defined by the desired movement path.
