Keysight Technologies has joined forces with Aview to establish a millimeter-wave radar laboratory in Suzhou, China. They have developed this lab to help promote the development of autonomous driving technologies.
Millimeter wave radar is a critical sensor for the realization of autonomous driving. Millimeter wave automotive radars must minimize propagation loss, phase noise and frequency response errors, as well as the impact of noise on the evaluation module (EVM). As a result, testing millimeter waves, especially the 76-81 GHz frequency band, requires a fast, accurate and reliable test solution. Keysight's radar target simulator covers the frequency range from 76-81 GHz with accurate and superior performance, providing a repeatable millimeter wave radar emulation function with flexible distance range definition.
Aview is committed to the development of high-performance automated line and test systems for millimeter wave radars, cameras and other components for image sensing applications, as well as providing the related research and development and testing. Keysight will provide the platform for millimeter-wave radar spanning R&D performance verification to production testing, speeding technological innovation in the automotive industry and enabling solutions to be quickly introduced to the market.
Pan Qitao, Regional Sales Manager for East China at Keysight, stated that the establishment of a joint millimeter wave radar laboratory by Keysight Technologies and Aview is a win-win initiative for both companies and their customers. Both will work collaboratively together to help the automotive industry to quickly introduce innovative products to the market and support the realization phase of autonomous driving.
"The laboratory jointly established by Keysight and Aview will enhance the technical strength of millimeter wave radar, while supporting the development of the autonomous driving market," said He Hongxin, general manager of Aview Technology. "Keysight's advanced test solutions, combined with the overall automated assembly technology and integration capabilities of Aview, is a strong alliance that promotes and supports the development of the automotive millimeter wave radar industry."
