High-resolution radar sensors and solutions that are capable of precisely and selectively capturing their environment while providing height, distance, and speed information, are a key technology in the development of self-driving vehicles. dSPACE is therefore expanding its product family of radar target simulators for the testing of automotive 4-D sensors by a system that allows for the precise simulation of two radar targets with high resolution. The new DARTS 9040-GT supports the development of radar systems that have to meet strict requirements on separation capability, making testing easier and more efficient in terms of effort and costs.
Validating the separation capability of ultra-high-resolution radar systems is currently tedious and complex. The dSPACE Automotive Radar Test System (DARTS) 9040-GT is the ideal fit for this test case: It allows for the simulation of two targets with high precision and resolution by means of an instantaneous bandwidth that covers the entire 5 GHz of the automotive E-band. Until now, two DARTS 9040-G had to be used in a test setup to complete this task. The DARTS 9040-GT simulates two targets on the basis of the tried-and-tested DARTS 9040-G technology.
The DARTS 9040-GT supports separation tests for radar targets that approach from different angles or for targets that are located at different distances but at the same angles.
