Product overview
The R&S®ATS1500C is a compact antenna test range (CATR) chamber that uses a gold-plated parabolic reflector and a two-axis positioner to reproduce the 3D movement of a radar module, recreating far-field test conditions in a small footprint. Together with the R&S®AREG800A automotive radar echo generator it forms a complete development, calibration and validation test system for new-generation sensors such as 77 GHz 4D imaging radars. The fully anechoic design gives more than 90 dB of shielding effectiveness, and optimized absorbers suppress ghost targets so the test environment stays repeatable and reliable. With the optional RF-transparent temperature enclosure, radiated OTA measurements can run continuously across the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, which markedly speeds up development.
Key features
- In-band OTA measurement in the 60 GHz and 76 – 81 GHz bands
- Gold-plated parabolic CATR reflector, 30 cm quiet zone diameter, small 1.3 m² footprint
- High-speed, high-precision 3D tilt-tilt positioner with 0.03° angular resolution and large tilt angles for automotive radar
- Fully anechoic chamber with more than 90 dB shielding effectiveness and optimized pyramidal absorbers that minimize ghost targets
- Height-adjustable alignment mechanism keeps the device under test at the centre of rotation
- Optional RF-transparent, thermally insulating temperature enclosure for OTA testing at extremes of -40°C to +85°C
- Web GUI plus Ethernet / SCPI command control, easy to integrate into automation software
- Several feedthrough configurations; the dual polarized feed antenna gives parallel access to both polarizations
- Bidirectional CATR reflector design for greater measurement flexibility
- Trigger synchronization works seamlessly with external test instruments such as signal analyzers and radar target simulators
Typical applications
- Automotive radar antenna characterization (pattern, gain, phase)
- Development and R&D validation of 76 – 81 GHz radar modules
- Production line calibration and consistency testing
- Virtual target simulation (range, velocity, RCS) together with the R&S®AREG800A
- OTA performance validation of 4D imaging radar sensors
- Radiated RF measurement at automotive temperature extremes (-40°C to +85°C)
- Interference testing and in-band compliance verification
