The precise testing of radar sensors and applications is a critical requirement in development, production, quality assurance, and maintenance. The dSPACE Automotive Radar Test System (DARTS) 9510-C enables easy-to-use but very realistic over-the-air tests. This is done by simulating radar echoes of independent objects in road traffic with a programmable distance, speed, and size.
The dSPACE Automotive Radar Test System (DARTS) 9510-C is an industry-proven radar echo simulator for testing radar sensors used in civilian vehicles. It supports clearly definable, reproducible test scenarios in the laboratory. The radar test system simulates the reflections of up to four independent objects in road traffic at different distances, speeds, and sizes in real-time. With these features, the DARTS 9510-C plays a crucial role in validating radar-based automotive applications. It covers all important radar sensor development steps: from chip design to sensor development and the testing of entire advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. The tests can be performed during development, production, quality assurance, and approval.
The system can be operated via an optional touchscreen, enabling quick and comfortable test definition and execution. Remote control interfaces ensure integration into test automation systems, making it the perfect choice for performing efficient, reproducible, and highly accurate over-the-air tests with radar sensors. Moreover, DARTS 9510-C is built with industry-proven technology that provides perfect signal resolution, precise range and speed simulation, and makes it possible to precisely define the size of objects. Accurate, simplified, and flexible testing of automotive radar applications has never been easier. The convenient over-the-air method leads to an unmatched test depth and test coverage – supporting all areas from chip design to end of line testing.
The DARTS 9510-C is based on industry-proven technologies developed by miro•sys and ITS.
