Radar Test Bench – Advanced 6D

Validation of next generation radar sensors

  • Ready for 4-D imaging radar
  • Precise azimuth and elevation simulation of up to 8 radar targets
  • High flexibility for different radar sensors and DARTS configurations

Outside view of the closed test bench.

Two independent positioning arms allow a wide variation of azimuth and elevation. The distance of the radar sensor is also variable.

Application Areas

The Radar Test Bench – Advanced 6D is designed especially for the validation and specification of next generation radar sensors (e.g., separability, field of view, resolution).

For scenario-based testing of functions for advanced driver assistance systems or autonomous driving (e.g., ACC), dSPACE specifically developed the Radar Test Bench – Compact 3D.

Key Benefits

The Radar Test Bench – Advanced 6D allows for precise azimuth and elevation simulation for two fully independent targets.

Precise and real-time capable antenna focusing to the position of the radar sensor with four motor drives on each positioning arm. This enables high quality angle simulation for every sensor position.

Two dSPACE Automotive Radar Test Systems (DARTS) can also be integrated. The large portfolio of DARTS allows for optimizing the setup for each device under test.
