Rhode & Schwarz brings out a lifetime solution for bumpers – Automotive Industry scaling to new heights:
Randomes (brand emblems) or bumpers are cased
inside a protective cover with automotive radars mounted over it. The radars
are invisibly integrated behind bumpers in order to attain signal transparency.
The Lohnert Elektronik, a leading specialist in custom test benches were looking
for a reliable solution for losses in radars. High losses reduce the maximum
range within which a radar can detect the obstacle.
Rhode & Schwarz
quickly came up with an intellect solution to detect obstacles in order to
prevent such marginal losses. The R&S QAR (Quality Automotive Randome)
tester is an ideal R&D tool for identifying, measuring and analyzing the capabilities
of the radar with scientific image processing. As Lohrent Elektronik integrates
this technology into their legacy tester device, thus covering the entire test
cycle with less than ten seconds. The radar signals operate usually in the
range of 77 and 79 GHz bands (E band). The tester binds all the distortions by
reproducibly showing millimeter wave images based on distributed planar arrays.
It gives a reliable evaluation of randome performances by spatial reflection
measurements, revealing even the smallest inhomogeneity of the material.
This reliable test
bench is driven by the Lohrent instant scripting run time software (LisRT V3)
along with Siemens SPC controller. They are available for automotive randomes
up to 200mm in diameter. The system identifies their hallmark by a data matrix
code (DMC) for all the machines undergoing the transmission and reflection
reference measurements. The measurement results are highly appreciable as they
can be delivered to other systems, supporting manual and automatic test
systems.
