Ensure automotive radome and bumper quality from design to EOL testing

The R&S®QAR50 is ideal for all stages of automotive radome and bumper testing: from material characterization in development to fast and accurate measurements in end-of-line (EOL) production testing. It easily accommodate bulky bumpers and provides spatiall resolutions to evaluate homogeneity of a 100 x 100 mm area within one single shot. The robot-mounted version (QAR50-R) is designed to access the interior of bumpers with complex shapes. Its innovative hardware concept allows for the fastest measurement times on the market and the modular software concept can adapt to your particular requirements.

Robust and Reliable

Large evaluation areas for faster and more reliable results

The QAR50 uses almost 200 receive and transmit antennas to quickly characterize materials, bumpers and emblems. The microwave imaging technology features electronic focusing for more flexible positioning of measurement antennas, freeing up space for the most important item: your material under test.

Compared to single antenna setups, the larger aperture of the QAR50 allows for greater positioning tolerance while maintaining precise measurement results.

The two clusters of the QAR50 enable imaging results for both transmission loss and reflection.

Fast and Accurate

Maximum precision within a minimum of time

Together with the DAkkS-certified verification set (QAR50-Z44), the compliance of the measurement system with national and international standards can be proven within no time. When equipped with QAR50-K11 option, the instrument delivers extensive insights on the samples within as little as 1.6s. This makes the QAR50 an extremely fast and reliable solution for all kinds of radome and bumper testing.

Flexible and Unique

Tailored software options that can be activated at any time

Throughout its life, different requirements are posed on measurement devices. The keycode enabled software concept allows for maximum flexibility. Additional to the standard transmission and reflection measurements, the device can be equipped with:

  • Transmission and reflection frequency response (for e.g. thickness monitoring)
  • High resolution transmission magnitude and phase imaging (for e.g. homogeneity analysis or material characterization)
  • High resolution reflection imaging (for e.g. extensive error analysis and tracking)
