Key Features
The R&S
AREG100A Automotive Radar Echo Generator sets standards in RF per-
formance and usability. Outstanding key features are:
●
Remote frontends supporting different frequencies (e.g. 24 GHz) and up to 4 GHz
signal bandwidth
●
Simultaneous simulation of up to four objects
–
Up to three individually switchable paths for simulation of fixed object distances
from 5 m to 300 m
–
One additional switchable path for fixed short object distance of 4m (including
0.8m air gap)
●
Individually controllable amplitude for each path
●
Frontend available with single antenna (best for testing MIMO radars) or two anten-
nas (best isolation between Rx/Tx path)
●
Optional Doppler frequency offset for each path for simulation of radial velocity
●
Remote configuration and operation
For a detailed specification refer to the data sheet.
