Test Radar-based Autonomous Driving Features with the Radar Scene Emulator
Achieving the next level in vehicle autonomy demands robust algorithms trained to interpret radar reflections detected by automotive radar sensors. Keysight’s first-to-market technology combines hundreds of miniature radar target simulators into a scalable screen that can emulate objects with up to 512-pixel resolution and at distances as close as 1.5 meters. This breakthrough radar scene emulation solution overcomes conventional radar sensor test solutions that have a limited field-of-view (FOV) and cannot simulate objects at distances less than 4 meters.
Utilizing “total scene generation”, the radar scene emulation solution exercises your automated drive systems and algorithms by applying time-synchronized inputs to the actual sensors. Its open architecture also closes the loop with your existing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems and 3D modelers. These capabilities create a solution that complements—and fills the gap between—software simulation and on-road testing. As such, it overcomes limitations of software simulation that does not test real radar sensor response, while achieving repeatable testing of radar scenes, which cannot be done on the test track.
The Radar Scene Emulator allows you to emulate real-world driving scenarios, varying speed, distance, and number of targets, across a contiguous FOV. With radar sensors and back-end software confidently tested against the complexity of real-world driving scenarios, you’ll achieve your vision of ADAS and next-generation vehicle autonomy sooner, with less risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
A radar scene emulator is a test system that creates highly realistic radar targets and driving environments in a controlled laboratory. It allows engineers to evaluate how an autonomous vehicle’s radar sensors detect, track, and classify objects without depending on unpredictable real-world driving. By producing complex scenarios with multiple moving targets, different speeds, and varying distances, these systems provide a safe, repeatable, and efficient way to confirm radar sensor performance.
Radar scene emulation makes it possible to test unusual or hazardous situations that are hard to reproduce on public roads, such as sudden pedestrian crossings or vehicles approaching quickly from blind spots. Validating radar reliability under these conditions builds confidence in automated driving systems and helps improve road safety.
A radar scene emulator electronically generates simulated radar targets that represent objects like cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. Engineers can control each target’s characteristics, including range, speed, angle, and radar cross-section, to create realistic and dynamic traffic conditions. Many systems can handle multiple targets at different angles, enabling the recreation of dense traffic situations.
The emulator connects directly to the radar sensor being tested and provides immediate feedback on how it perceives the environment. Engineers can tune scenarios to measure detection range, tracking accuracy, false alarm filtering, and sensor performance under varying weather or interference conditions.
Radar scene emulators provide consistency, safety, and efficiency that traditional road testing cannot deliver. Engineers can recreate challenging scenarios such as sudden obstacles, merging vehicles, or limited-visibility events repeatedly and without risk to people or property. Controlled testing minimizes the need to accumulate extensive road miles, saving time and reducing operational costs.
These systems also allow for evaluation in conditions that are unsafe or difficult to reproduce in the real world, such as crowded multi-target situations or rapidly changing traffic patterns. This capability helps identify radar sensor limitations earlier in the development cycle, speeding up design improvements and overall validation.
During early design, they allow teams to test new sensor architectures and algorithms before full vehicle integration. During validation, engineers can confirm that object detection and tracking systems meet performance goals across a wide range of driving scenarios.
In later stages, emulators support regression testing by running identical scenarios after software updates or hardware changes to ensure consistent sensor behavior. This repeatability improves confidence in the readiness of radar systems for real-world deployment.
