R&S®AREG800A automotive radar echo generator – an innovative and versatile solution for automotive radar sensor and radar based ADAS/AD functions.

The R&S®AREG800A has a scenario player built in for replaying predefined, dynamic scenarios. Scenarios come in the form of binary files containing a sequence of timestamped ASAM Open Simulation Interface (OSI) messages describing the radar objects that should be simulated. The R&S®AREG800A can replay these scenario files and provides convenient playback and remote-control functions, as well as automatic mapping of simulated objects to the connected RF frontends.This application note presents background information and details about how to create said scenarios using Python and how to replay them on a R&S®AREG800A. Examples for scripting dynamic scenario in Python are provided as well.

The China Mobile Research Institute and Rohde & Schwarz have joined forces to research and validate joint communication and sensing (JCAS). They plan to use the latest R&S AREG800A automotive radar echo generator from Rohde & Schwarz as an object simulator in a JCAS testing solution, thereby accelerating the research and development of JCAS and readying it for industrialization.

This application note shows how to configure the R&S®AREG800A with either R&S®AREG8-24/81 remote millimeter wave frontends or the R&S®QAT100 advanced antenna array.

The new R&S RTS radar test system from Rohde & Schwarz simulates driving scenarios for testing radar based advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and radar sensors used in autonomously driving cars (AD) entirely over the air. The test solution consists of the new R&S AREG800A automotive radar echo generator as a backend and the R&S QAT100 antenna array as a frontend. Laterally moving objects, i.e. objects approaching from the side, are currently simulated by mechanically moving antennas. The R&S RTS replaces the mechanical movement by electronically switching individual antennas in the frontend on and off. Even objects moving laterally to the car at very high speed can be simulated reliably and reproducibly. The R&S RTS is able to simulate the radial velocity (Doppler shift) and the size (radar cross section) of objects at user configurable – including very small – ranges. Countless objects can be represented by cascading multiple R&S AREG800A backends. The R&S RTS moves tests currently performed on the road to the lab. This allows early error detection and a significant reduction in costs.
