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.
