EMC Measurement Test Challenges of Autonomous Vehicles

Today’s modern vehicles are fitted with increasingly elaborate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features, while legislation mandating the implementation of ADAS in new models is already here. In the rapidly evolving industry of autonomous vehicles, the ability to successfully provide vehicle level ADAS measurements will be key to the future of this market and address public safety concerns. This presentation looks at one set of EMC based tests that are being developed to help OEM’s and test labs validate the RF performance of these systems under controlled and repeatable conditions.
