Key facts
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.
Documentation, video guides and software available for the QAR50
Our documentary includes everything you need to know about radome and bumper testing and the usage of the powerful QAR50. The extensive user manual includes many pages of explanations and step-by-step instructions for reliable and repeatable measurements. The QAR50 application video series provides a dozen short videos answering all frequently asked questions from R&D to EOL production and can be accessed free-of-charge.
Application video series answering all questions you have about radome and bumper testing.
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.
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.

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:
The QAR50-K10 frequency resolved measurements help maintain constant production quality.
Worldwide expertise for QAR50 and QAR50-R
Being in the market for many years, there is barely any car brand that the QAR-family has not tested the radomes and bumpers of.
