For the first time in the US, Rohde & Schwarz will show a radical innovation in automotive radar testing. The new R&S RadEsT automotive radar tester is a compact, versatile radar target simulator that meets the full range of testing needs – from lab-based functional testing to vehicle-level production checks and beyond. Visitors can learn how to streamline radar sensor testing using the R&S RadEsT in radar sensor calibration, ADAS/AD functional testing and on OEM production lines– all along radar sensors lifecycle.
Additionally, visitors will gain insights into the latest testing solutions for in-vehicle networks such as gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) and Ethernet connections. These solutions are designed to ensure high-speed data transfer and energy efficiency for next-generation vehicles. Testing GMSL and Ethernet compliance ensures that automotive systems can handle the high data rates required for advanced infotainment and autonomous driving systems.
"We are honored to be at the heart of the automotive ecosystem, providing test solutions that drive the industry's progress in autonomous driving, electrification, and connectivity," stated Frank Dunn, Rohde & Schwarz USA CEO. "Our cutting-edge technologies are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern automotive engineering, ensuring reliability, safety, and performance."
Demonstrations at the Rohde & Schwarz booth at the CES show floor, will showcase the latest advancements in ADAS sensor fusion and hardware-in-the-loop (XiL) testing. These technologies are crucial for ensuring accurate and reliable data integration from multiple sensors in autonomous vehicles. By simulating real-world driving scenarios and combining them with virtual models, Rohde & Schwarz enables comprehensive testing of complex sensor systems. This ensures that autonomous vehicles can effectively perceive and respond to their surroundings with high precision and reliability, pushing the boundaries of what autonomous technology can achieve.
Even marginal improvements in electric drivetrain efficiency and performance can significantly enhance overall electric vehicle (EV) operation. Assessing the energy efficiency of the entire drivetrain requires precise and detailed measurements. At CES, Rohde & Schwarz will present a solution for OEMs and their suppliers to characterize and optimize drivetrain components, such as inverters and battery management systems. The solution is based on the MFIA from Zurich Instruments, the MXO 5 oscilloscope and the RT-ZISO isolated probing system
Demonstrations automotive connectivity testing including digital key systems using BLE and UWB technologies will highlight secure vehicle access, with Rohde & Schwarz's tests ensuring top security standards and seamless functionality. Hands-on exhibits will feature EMC and OTA tests for vehicle antennas including digital twin modeling, essential for robust wireless communication and consistent performance under various conditions.
Attendees at CES in Las Vegas, can visit the Rohde & Schwarz booth #3366 in and experience firsthand the advancements that Rohde & Schwarz brings to the automotive sector. Rohde & Schwarz’s team of experts will be on-site to provide detailed demonstrations, answer questions, and discuss how solutions can be tailored to meet specific needs.
