Since radars are critical to vehicles, manufacturers need to ensure that they do not malfunction or become non-responsive in critical situations. Stringent EMS testing in line with ISO11451-2 is carried out for vehicle level testing. However, one of the key challenges is replicating real life scenarios where the ADAS car radar functions are activated during EMS testing.

Electronic loads operate up to a specified minimum DC input, and below this minimum voltage, the available voltage will decay on a linear scale. However, in order to be able to perform applications such as testing individual battery cells - for example, a 3.6V lithium battery - the electronic load must operate with a greater range.

Whether designing a new jet engine or building a medical-grade freezer, signal integrity matters. Designers need certainty in, and from, their testing to ensure that their products will do what they are meant to do. This can only be accomplished through proper data acquisition systems with uncompromised signal integrity.
