Radars based ADAS solutions are growing at a substantial rate in the automotive market since they play a fundamental role in increasing passengers and pedestrian safety.
To support radar designers in reducing time and design cost, to meet the stringent vehicle safety norms, to reduce risks about final installed radar performance etc., more effective and efficient industrial approach have to be devised both in terms of simulation (working at 77 GHz poses several numerical challenges) and testing.
This paper presents IDS/Siemens PLM Software technical approach and CAE tools, based on a synergic use of high-fidelity simulation models and measurement set-up’s to support the whole design, optimization and verification cycle, starting from the stand-alone radar antenna performance up to on-car installed radar operational performance verification.
