Improved antenna array, artifical target system, method and computer program

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an antenna array arranged to control a radar response of a target, comprising multiple ultra wideband antennas, wherein each of said multiple antennas is coupled to a separate switch, and each switch is arranged to control one of said multiple antennas such that when said one antenna is connected to a load, preferably matched load, said one antenna acts as an absorber, and when said one antenna is electrically shorted, said one antenna acts as a reflector, wherein at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at a first time instant and the at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at a second time instant, and at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at the first time instant and the at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at the second time instant.
