NOFFZ Technologies has introduced Test Rack UTP 7033, a test rack that was originally developed to validate modern automotive devices with high channel counts and a high technology range. But it can also be used for a wide range of development or production scenarios. With the rack, long-term tests can be performed simultaneously, saving valuable time for various customers. This rack can test multiple Device Under Tests (DUTs) in parallel for over long periods of time and under various environmental factors.
Modern vehicles are equipped with a variety of innovative vehicle control units that contain the latest technologies and standards. To test these ground-breaking components, this test rack offers a turnkey solution for validation testing environments with an RF distribution.
Key Features and Specifications of Test Rack UTP 7033
Typical Range of Functions
- Dual SIM (dual SIM dual active, DSDA) for mobile communication up to 5G NR
- At least one device for the global positioning (GNSS including RTK – Real Time Kinematic)
- Can be used for V2V communication and for V2X connections
- Multiple devices for wireless connectivity (WLAN/BT/UWB)
Bidirectional Vehicle Communication
- Externally for mobile, telematic, and V2X services including eCall
- Internally for infotainment, entertainment, and security functions
Long-Term Tests
- Long-term tests of connected car components
Simultaneous Tests
- Cost-optimized solution for simultaneous testing
- Complex telematic control units (TCUs)
- Connected Gateways
- Intelligent Antenna Modules (IAM)
- Wireless, navigation, or eCall systems
Interfaces
- 16 and more RF interfaces per DUT through a multiple-antenna system (multiple input multiple output, MIMO)
- Implementable in the smallest of spaces with physical interfaces, such as Quad-Mini-FAKRA with a special cable for the DUT
