Automotive - Safety & Driver Aids

MD8475A Signalling Tester

The MD8475A helps to the development of in-car safety technologies such as eCall or ERA-GLONASS.

The Network Simulator can be easily integrated with an IVS module for simulating end-to-end emergency calls as per the mentioned standards.

• Ecall, ERA-GLONASS
• Supports 2-cell test environment, including Inter-RAT Cell Reselection, Redirection, Cell Change, CS Fallback, etc.
• eCall tester can be reliably integrated with the platform

ME7838E Vector Network Analyzer

With the continued growth in 77 & 92 GHz automotive radar III-V development, it is expected that a major push for emerging SiGe development will continue. SiGe will offer lower costs and prices for the automotive industry and push car radar into mid to low price models.

VectorStar is used during the design phase where device characterization is used to analyze broadband performance of transistors and MMICs for radar systems and sub-systems.

• FMCW

MS2830A Spectrum Analyzer

The MS2830A uses a built-in vector signal generator to reproduce captured actual signals. These captured pulse signals and noise are analyzed using the flexible VSA function supporting Spectrum, Power vs. Time, and Frequency vs. Time displays. In addition, spectrum performance can be checked intuitively using the Spectrogram display showing frequency, time, and power on one screen to troubleshoot and develop car wireless equipment, such as RKE and TPMS, using FSK signals.

The characteristics of time-shifted signals, such as DSRC and IEEE802.11p used for car-to-car and road-to-car communications, can be measured using analysis tools like MATLAB.

• TPMS, FMCW, RKE

MT8870A Universal Wireless Test Set

Positioning and localization technologies are now key in the connected car, and they must be tested to ensure compliance with international standards.

The MT8870A is the best option for testing at R&D and production stages of all wireless standards. This all-in-one box can perform sensitivity, BER and functional tests for navigation modules (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo).

• GNSS (i.e. GPS, GLONASS)
• Modular design with up to 16 high performance RF ports in one small chassis, to minimize test time and ensure an efficient cost per tested unit.

MG3710A Vector Signal Generator

The MG3710A can be used as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator, totally flexible for simulating GNSS signals (i.e. GPS, GLONASS), perfect for driver-aid systems development.

Its dual RF option makes it easy to implement complex test scenarios that would normally require multiple synchronized signal generators, such as:

• Wanted + Interference Signals for Receiver Blocking Testing
• Wanted + Two CW Tones for Receiver Intermodulation Testing
• Wanted + Delayed Signals for Multipath Testing
