Anritsu has introduced the ME7220A, a radar test system that usesinnovative design techniques to create a price and performancebreakthrough in testing components, sensors, modules and systemsfor mm-wave automotive radar. Featuring excellent accuracy andrepeatability characteristics at 76-77GHz, the ME7220A will beused to characterise current and future generations of automotiveradar, including adaptive cruise control and collision warning oravoidance radar.

The ME7220A is the first radar test system tocombine target simulation and signal analysis capability in oneinstrument.
Previously, a rack of instrumentation and mechanicalfixtures was required.
The ME7220A represents a significantimprovement over a rack-and-stack configuration because it offersbetter accuracy and repeatability, occupies significantly lessspace, and is easier to operate.
In addition, it is much moreaffordable than rack-and-stack alternatives.
Designed for use ina confined and controlled environment, the ME7220A provides asimulated radar target response with an adjustable radarcrosssection and one of two set target ranges.
The signalresponse can be Doppler-shifted to simulate the speed of a movingtarget.
The ME7220A can simulate a target up to 120m away movingat a speed of up to 250km/h, with better than 2m and 0.2km/haccuracy.
Additionally, it can measure the power characteristicsor effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the transmittedsignal, as well as its spectral characteristics.
Developed foruse in R and D, as well as manufacturing and production, theME7220A provides dramatic time and cost improvements inautomotive radar testing compared to traditional methods that useactual targets or vehicles and a rack of equipment.
It can beused to conduct high-quality characterisation of components,sensors, and systems, as well as during the installation ofmodules in vehicles.
