Automotive White Papers, Application Notes, and Case Studies

  1. 5G NR V2X For Enhanced Automotive Communications 6/28/2022

    As a humorous introduction, Rohde & Schwarz was motivated to write this white paper because vehicles are turning into “smartphones on wheels”, especially when considering the massive proliferation of wireless communications in automotive applications.

  2. How To Solve The Three Most Common SiC Issues In EVs 6/7/2022

    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.

  3. How To Solve Common Automotive Isolation Problems 6/6/2022

    EVs and HEVs harness the power of high voltage electrical systems to efficiently drive the main electric motor(s), rapidly charge the battery, and quickly heat the cabin. Adopting digital isolation brings new challenges, many of which can be solved with clever insights and simple design improvements.

  4. Wireless Communications For Automotive Applications 4/14/2022

    Providing enhanced comfort and safety are motivating designers to advance several communications technologies, especially the eCall introduction and the first direct communications scenarios. Rohde & Schwarz provides a wide range of test solutions for all vehicle-based applications, including safety and comfort, among many others.

  5. Radar Waveforms For Aerospace and Defense, Automotive Radar 2/14/2022

    This white paper reviews radar waveforms for Aerospace and Defense and commercial radar systems, as well as commercial radar sensors like those used in automotive safety applications. Pulse and pulse-Doppler signal, continuous wave, and frequency shift keying waveforms are described.

  6. Technological Solutions To Overcoming Hurdles In UAV/UAS Market 11/22/2021

    Over the last decade, unmanned aerial vehicles and systems (UAVs/UASes)—also referred to as drones—have become widely popular and gained significant interest in commercial, consumer, and government markets. As these technologies are evaluated, radar performance, and versatility should be among key criterions, factoring more than just the cost of the hardware.

  7. Automotive Radar Testing 10/26/2021

    Radar sensors do have a direct influence on the automobile’s steering and control system and therefore need to be comprehensively tested in production. Rohde & Schwarz supplies reliable equipment with a small footprint to help you manage the challenges of automotive radar production lines.

  8. Fundamentals Of Radome And Bumper Measurements Using The R&S®QAR 3/26/2021

    Radome testing is a necessity, checking sensor components for radar compatibility. Previously, there were two methods used for testing. R&S introduces the R&S®QAR as another solution. 

  9. Automotive Connectivity Enables The Intelligent Transportation System 3/11/2021

    In this white paper, automotive use cases and scenarios are discussed along with technology aspects, specifically for automotive applications. Important test and measurement needs are required to ensure optimal performance of these technologies. 

  10. A Comparative Review Of GaN, LDMOS, And GaAs For RF And Microwave 8/10/2020

    Gallium nitride (GaN) is widely viewed as a transformative technology that has enabled smaller, lighter, and more reliable RF/microwave devices than its predecessors. However, there are trade-offs to consider when selecting which technology to use for a particular application.
