CATR Radar Test System UTP 5069
Testing of large radar sensors with CATR technology
Modern driver assistance systems must increasingly recognize more complex traffic scenarios and implement them in appropriate vehicle reactions with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and specific algorithms. Therefore, radar sensors with higher spatial resolution, known as “imaging radar sensors,” are required. These are better able to distinguish larger objects from small ones and, due to the greater antenna apertures, also require greater dimensions of the test environment or greater far field distances. Testing these sensors in the direct far field (UTP 5065) would therefore require very large absorber chambers with a size of up to ten meters and more.
Our efficient testing system UTP 5069 offers just the suitable solution here:
4-D, imaging and other radar sensors with large far field distances are calibrated to a small floor space through the use of CATR Technology (Compact Antenna Test Range). With the extremely low-reflection NOFFZ absorber chamber, the system is suited not only for validation but for EOL tests as well.
