Keysight Technologies added two test solutions to its automotive portfolio in the area of radar target simulation and advanced automotive ethernet software, to help enable emerging solutions like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Leveraging its expertise in radar test technology, Keysight now offers a Radar Target Simulator (RTS) to help automotive electronics manufacturers confidently simulate radar targets in various realistic scenarios.
Keysight's RTS performs multi-target, multi-angle testing for radar modules in a lab environment, delivering fast, accurate and reliable results that balance throughput and quality. Design and verification engineers can quickly validate the performance of radar products, while manufacturing and design validation engineers are able to simulate multiple objects at variable distances.
Next-generation ADAS systems require camera and radar systems with high resolution, which require increased speed and bandwidth. Automotive Ethernet enables faster data communication to meet the demands of today's vehicles and the connected vehicles of the future. However, the channel or link in a system can create a point of failure and as such must be fully tested.
To address this growing challenge, Keysight has developed a new automotive Ethernet channel test software solution to verify that information is carried, without loss or cross talk, to its intended destination.
Key features of Keysight's new automotive Ethernet channel test software solution include:
-Creation of a test plan that includes all required tests as per the specification.
-Automatic set up of the network analyzer for each measurement and applies defined test limits.
-Detailed reporting for each test that has been run.
Keysight's Automotive Ethernet solutions suite provides the hardware, software, cables and accessories needed to enable compliance testing. These offerings are enhanced by newly released receiver testing software and an updated transmit compliance application that offers 4 different data rates, including the preliminary version of Multi-Gig IEEE 802.3ch, in one application, making Keysight the first to offer compliance tests for IEEE 802.3ch.
