The system was evaluated in particular in terms of flexibility, efficiency and accuracy. According to Frost & Sullivan, the UTP 5065 RTS radar test platform exceeds the requirements for validation and production testing and believes that these cannot be achieved to the same extent by the competition.
The UTP 5065 RTS Radar Test System has a vertical design, resulting in a footprint of only 1.2 square meters. With a 70 percent space savings compared to horizontal solutions, the platform is particularly suitable for a line layout in manufacturing. Due to the flexible operation of the platform from the front and also from the rear, it can be handled manually or also used with various industrial automation concepts. The measuring chamber of the radar test system is extremely low-reflection, suppresses interfering signals as well as radiation and thus ensures extraordinary accuracy.
The very dynamic automotive market requires great adaptability from test system manufacturers. NOFFZ Technologies is constantly exploring and developing new technologies and tester frameworks and reacts flexibly to the fast-moving industry with its portfolio. Currently, the specialists are dedicated to the pioneering Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR), for testing larger sensors with larger far-field distances in a small footprint setup.
