dSPACE Automotive Radar Test Systems (DARTS)
Over-the-air simulation of radar echoes in real time
The precise testing of radar sensors and applications is a critical requirement in development, production, quality assurance, and maintenance. The dSPACE Automotive Radar Test Systems (DARTS) enable easy-to-use but very realistic over-the-air tests. This is done by simulating radar echoes of objects in road traffic with programmable distance, speed, and size.

Over-the-Air Simulation of Echoes for Automotive Radar Sensors
Over-the-Air testing of radar sensors that enable ADAS and highly autonomous driving functionality.
- Particularly realistic tests of ADAS/AD applications
- Validation of the entire radar transmission channel
- Very fast and thorough tests
Powerful radar target simulators are available for any development and test tasks. They can be configured for use in E-band or K-band. Depending on the application and task, you can choose between scalable modules, desktop devices, and mobile devices. All DARTS are able to simulate radar echoes with the following characteristics: Distance (signal delay), speed (frequency shift, Doppler), and size (radar cross section).
- Accurate over-the-air simulation of radar echoes in real time
- Particularly realistic tests of ADAS/AD applications, sensors, and vehicles
- Best-in-class range coverage, speed, and size simulation
- Precise characterization and validation of all radar sensor types
- Easy setup of the scalable systems for all ADAS/AD applications
- An ideal choice for chip testing, R&D, end-of-line, and type approval
