TEST STAND FOR TESTING A DISTANCE SENSOR WHICH OPERATES USING ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

The invention relates to a test stand (1) for testing a distance sensor (2) which operates using electromagnetic waves. The distance sensor (2) to carry out the tests comprises at least one sensor emission element (3a) for emitting a transmission signal (4) and a sensor receiving element (3b) for receiving a reflection signal. The test stand comprises a receiving area (5) for mounting the distance sensor (2), an at least partly movable slotted gate (6, 6m, 6s) in the emission region of a distance sensor (2) being held in the receiving area (5), at least one test stand receiving element (7) which is held in the slotted gate (6, 6m, 6s) for receiving a transmission signal (4) emitted by the sensor emission element (3a), and at least one test stand emission element (8) which is held in the slotted gate (6) for emitting a test stand transmission signal (9) as a simulated reflection signal. A reliable environment simulation, in particular for testing multiple-input, multiple-output distance sensors (2) is achieved
