Measurement
The radar positioning measurement verifies the correct positioning of a radar module,
for example behind the bumper of a car.
To measure the position of the radar module, the R&S
QAR generates a three-dimen-
sional point cloud of the car that is in front of it. This image shows the bumper and the
location of the radar sensor mounted behind the bumper. To determine the correct
location of the radar sensor, the R&S
QAR compares the recorded image to the CAD
data of the radar sensor and the bumper or radome.
