Automotive Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) Target Simulator

Lidar technology has come a long way from its use in meteorology and topography. It is fast becoming an automotive sensor that is both a key addition to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and an enabler of autonomous vehicles. The tremendous investment in lidar technology in the automotive market is an indicator that it is poised for increased adoption, but there are cost, quality, and time-to-market challenges to overcome. Validation and testing will play a key role in addressing the challenges impacting the future of autonomous vehicles.

Keysight’s lidar target simulator is an exciting step into the future of lidar sensor testing. The compact design frees up valuable space and its features offer powerful insights into lidar performance. The solution enables you to do the following:

  • Simulate and automatically sweep in distance and reflectivity
  • Implement both solid-state and mechanical rotating lidar sensors
  • Perform 3D / real-world object simulation
  • Improve quality and yield with insights from innovative visualization and analytical software

Revolutionary Lidar Test Solution

Consolidate your lidar test into a bench setup that integrates multiple test and analytics capabilities. You can use a full solution from Keysight or pair the simulator with your collaborative robot (cobot) of choice. The combination of the lidar target simulator and cobot expands test coverage to a full field of view. You will have the ability to accomplish the following:

  • Avoid maintaining multiple test and target setups
  • Reduce mechanical automation costs and save floor space
  • Minimize handling variability while improving accuracy and repeatability
  • Analyze point cloud probability-of-detection beyond real-world targets
  • Increase yield and throughput with data analytics
