Testing in the Automotive Radar Ecosystem
 
February 11 or 12, 2020
Two sessions available
 
Keysight Automotive Customer Center
28350 Cabot Drive
Novi, MI 48377
 
Growing demand of advanced radar technologies, such as 79GHz high frequency with 4GHz wide modulation bandwidth and micro-Doppler to detect and protect pedestrians, has led to new design and test challenges. With the wide-scale adoption of radar, interference is now a very real issue to solve. Guest presenters from Michigan Technological University and Sekisui Chemical Group will contribute knowledge around radar absorbers and mutual interference. In our three (3) breakout sessions, we will review advanced automotive radar design and test solutions from simulation through R&D and deployment:
  • Automotive Radar Design Simulation & RF System Analysis:
    • Create custom radar waveforms, simulated targets, mmWave impairments, and MIMO antenna arrays
  • Radar Signal Generation & Analysis Using New Automation Tool:
    • Generate 4GHz bandwidth mmW automotive radar signals
    • Demodulate 4GHz bandwidth mmW FMCW radar signals
    • Analyze chirp parameters such as FM error/slope
  • Radar Interference:
    • Demonstrate effects on target detection using radar target simulator, Compact Antenna Test Range, and interference source
