Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also known as radio frequency interference (RFI), results when an outside source causes noise or interference in an electrical path or circuit. Shielding is necessary to prevent EMI from causing electronic devices to malfunction.

As EV adoption for both consumer and commercial purposes rapidly grows, so does the need for improved charging infrastructure. Currently, wireless charging is the newest EV charging technology.

One of the most severe threats to automobile electronics is air traffic control radar, which can expose vehicles to high-strength pulsed fields. Over the years, manufacturers have developed automobile OEM specifications to test the susceptibility of electronics to these threats.

In this application note, R&S’s OTA test solution covering transmitter (Tx), receiver (Rx), and time of flight (ToF) testing in wireless automated testing (WMT) environment is described.

Electric vehicles (EVs) represent a radical shift from the internal combustion engines (ICE) that have dominated vehicle sales for nearly a century, and manufacturers are hunting for disruptive technology to make their EVs stand out.

The ADF5904 is designed for multichannel receiver, high-frequency applications that use digital beamforming, such as automotive ADAS radar, microwave radar sensors, and industrial radar system environments where energy efficiency is becoming a more important system-level design consideration. 

This white paper discusses automotive Ethernet, full-duplex communication, the need to separate master and slave signals, signal separation testing methodologies, and a comparison of the current directional coupler insertion method and the Tektronix new signal separation method.

Learn how Remcom’s WaveFarer Radar Simulation Software uses raytracing to simulate virtual drive scenarios and predict radar returns as a system moves through an environment with vehicles, roadway structures, pedestrians, and other objects.

Current probes generate and measure RF currents, combining great diagnostic utility with ease of use. However, a basic knowledge of these devices is necessary to maximize their effectiveness.
