Product specs for Anritsu ME7220A

Product Description:

Anritsu ME7220A Radar Test System, 76-77 GHz

The Anritsu ME7220A spectrum analyzer is a wide band, very sensitive receiver. It works on the principle of "super-heterodyne receiver" to convert higher frequencies (normally ranging up to several 10s of GHz) to measurable quantities. The received frequency spectrum is slowly swept through a range of pre-selected frequencies, converting the selected frequency to a measurable DC level (usually logarithmic scale), and displaying the same on the CRT of the Anritsu ME7220A. The CRT displays received signal strength (y-axis) against frequency ( x-axis).

Some applications for Anritsu ME7220A Spectrum Analyzers include Site Monitoring: Verify that the frequency and signal strength of your transmitter is accurate. Interference: Before a system is installed you use a Anritsu ME7220A spectrum analyzer to verify that the frequencies (you plan to use) are not occupied or if the presence of a very strong signal will interfere with your new setup. Interference can be created by a number of different situations. Other tests that utilize the Anritsu ME7220A spectrum analyzer features include antenna isolation, co-channel interference, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, intermodulation, microwave or satellite antenna alignment, and characterization of components.

The ME7220A Radar Test System (RTS) accurately and repeatedly characterizes 76-77GHz automotive radar modules and systems, in a confined and controlled environment, to ensure quality and optimum functionality. The RTS is designed to work with current and future generations of automotive radar being deployed as part of the emerging infrastructure for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the overall Telematics market including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) radar and collision warning, or avoidance radar. The test system provides a simulated radar target response with one of two set target ranges with an adjustable target Radar Cross Section (RCS). The signal response can be Doppler shifted to simulate the speed of a moving target. The system also allows the measurement of the power characteristics or Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the transmitted radar signal as well as its spectral characteristics (bandwidth, spurious signals, AM/FM Noise, etc.). The ME7220A RTS is the ideal solution for your testing environment, including research and development, radar module manufacturing, or vehicle manufacturing. Whether you are involved in the development of components and systems, setting up for production of sensors, or installing modules on automobiles, you will find that the ME7220A is an essential tool for dramatically reducing your development and test times and for helping you deliver a superior product.

Features:

Verifies operation under realistic conditions by simulating moving targets (other vehicles or roadside objects) at multiple target distances
Fully characterizes the radar module by quantifying transmitter, receiver and antenna performance
Integrated functionality allows radar signal power and frequency measurements without external equipment. Interfaces with external test accessories including spectrum analyzers and power meters for complete test flexibility
Suited for stand-alone bench-top or anechoic-chamber testing, but easily integrates with other instruments into an automated test bench or into standard production lines for complete testing of the radar modules
Built-in laser allows accurate alignment of the radar-under-test to the RTS antennas without additional mechanical fixtures
Speeds automobile production by simplifying functional testing and alignment of the radar sensor (antenna) when installed on the vehicle
Easily controlled from an external computer (via RS-232) or by using the included handheld manual controller.
