In the proposed 4-port structure, the sum pattern in elevation and azimuth planes can be achieved by exciting the ports. In order to achieve the difference pattern in both planes, left and right side $2times 1$ arrays are placed in the opposite direction to each other along the x- and y-axis. At 12.5 GHz, the sum and difference patterns gain are 10.20 and 10.40 dBic, respectively, in elevation and azimuth planes.

Moreover, radar systems have been more complex and involve many subsystems. These subsystems are also required to be tested during their development stages to solve unforeseen problems that may occur otherwise in field integration. Radar Target Simulators (RTS) are one of the many tools for testing radar at RF level. Its features enable in testing radar critical parameters. These tests are critical for radar mission preparedness. The day-to-day operation of radar is achieved using RTS. Also, it is used as a test tool for development of any subsystem, because of its capability to inject known targets. High speed target generation helps few classes of radars to test their capability to track high speed targets as these targets are rarely available in real scenario.

The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two radiating monopole elements placed orthogonal to each other with inverted U-shaped slot and U-shaped slot for dual band dispensing. The orthogonal placement of radiating elements provides sufficient amount of isolation between the two input ports and isolation of less than −22dB is achieved for entire range of frequency operation. A total volume of 20mm x 32mm x 1mm is occupied by total MIMO antenna system. Polarization diversity is obtained because of the orthogonal placement of radiating elements.
