In this article I am describing how optics can be used to simulate the information that will be perceived by a radar system looking at a specific target. With this system, you don’t need neither the radar nor the target to obtain the information.

A 100,000 Scale Factor Radar Range
12/19/17 P.-A. Blanche, M. Neifeld, and N. Peyghambarian, “A 100,000 Scale Factor Radar Range“, Scientific Reports, 7, 17767. Link
The article demonstrates that radar measurement can be reproduced using near IR light, by scaling both the size of the object (battle ship) and the wavelength.
