5 Operating the R&S QAR
The application to operate the R&S QAR is installed on a PC that is integrated into the
R&S QAR. It starts automatically when you turn on the R&S QAR.
You can access the application by connecting a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse to
the R&S
QAR. Alternatively, you can access the application via "Remote Desktop" from
another computer, if the R&S QAR is in a LAN.
If the application does not start automatically, you can start it manually with the short-
cut on the Windows desktop.
The operation depends on the application you have:
●
Chapter 5.1, "Radome Measurements" , on page 30
●
Chapter 5.2, "Bumper Measurements" , on page 44
●
Chapter 5.3, "Radar Positioning Measurements" , on page 53.
Warm-up time
Let the R&S QAR warm up for at least 90 minutes before using it.
5.1 Radome Measurements
The typical procedure when measuring a radome (DUT) is as follows:
1. Start the R&S QAR to start the system and the measurement application.
For more information about the functionality of the measurement application, see
Chapter 5.1.2, "Graphical User Interface" , on page 32.
2. Normalize the test setup.
For more information about the normalization, see Chapter 5.1.3.1, "Normaliza-
tion" , on page 35.
3. Measure the DUT.
For more information about the measurement and its results, see Chapter 5.1.3,
