Our new software application provides the immediate access your team needs to accelerate your radar module testing workflow. The Keysight KS83200A Automation platform for automotive radar is a suite of standards-compliant routines for testing and validation of radar transmitters and receivers. Its automated routines simplify programming, customization and testing, and timely updates keep it current with the latest standards.

The platform also includes calibration routines that account for the instruments and fixtures in each specific test setup. Minimizing loss and increasing accuracy is especially important when working with mmWave instruments and signals: even the slightest variation can cause erroneous go/no-go results.

The W4525E Automotive Library includes:

• Comprehensive models for automotive radar development and verification
• Get started quickly with practical example workspaces such as linear FMCW
• Hardware connectivity to Keysight test equipment to compare simulation and measured data

The Automotive Radar Library has comprehensive tools for radar waveform generation, signal modulation, antenna modeling, channel simulation and signal processing. Users can simply connect different models to establish the unique automotive radar simulation scenarios. Reference designs, such as multi-targets range and speed measurement and 3D scanning radar using antenna array, offer users much easier starting points to implement their own design ideas into early simulations and prototyping.

Multi-scatter target parameterized simulation models are available in the Automotive Library to coordinate file import to realize and visualize the micro-Doppler effects on the target. This library can import antenna pattern files for ground clutter simulation as well. To accelerate the product development cycle from simulation to pilot and prototyping, the connectivity to test and measurement instruments of the System Design platform enables upload and download the data files from the schematic workspace.
