Partners advance automotive radar development
R&S has verified NXP’s radar sensor reference design, which is based on the industry’s first 28-nm RFCMOS automotive radar SoC, the SAF85xx. The radar test system pairs the R&S AREG800A automotive radar echo generator with the R&S QAT100 antenna mmWave frontend. Offering short-distance object simulation and solid RF performance, the platform enables realistic tests of next-generation automotive radar applications, such as ADAS and autonomous driving.
NXP’s reference design, enabled by the SAF85xx 77-GHz automotive radar SoC, supports the development of short, medium, and long-range radar applications. The reference design helps engineers address challenging New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) safety requirements, as well as SAE L2+ and L3 levels of driving automation.
The R&S test system offers complete characterization of radar sensors and radar echo generation, with object distances down to the airgap value of the radar under test. Fully scalable, the system is suitable for the entire automotive radar lifecycle, including development lab, hardware-in-the-loop, vehicle-in-the-loop, validation, and production application requirements.
NXP will present its latest developments for radar, including the automotive radar sensor reference design, at next month’s CES 2024 trade show.
