Introduction
We combine our experience in radar technology with our knowledge in microwave engineering to create innovative measurement solutions for automotive radar sensors and radar covers (radomes). All key components are developed and produced in-house or in close cooperation with our partners to meet highest quality requirements.
Radome Measurement System
The RMS (Radome Measurement System) from perisens is an efficient tool to evaluate radar covers (so called radomes) and characterize materials for automotive radar sensors in R&D and production. perisens radome measurement technology is worldwide in use by leading OEM, radar sensor supplier, exterior part supplier and paint supplier since 2019.
The RMS system is available in two versions:
- RMS-D which allows to test radar covers and characterize dielectric materials in laboratories
- RMS-C which allows end-of-line testing of radar covers in production
RMS-D
The RMS-D (Radome Measurement System – Desktop) is designed for laboratory use. The system allows to evaluate radar covers and to characterize dielectric materials (measurement of relative permittivity and loss tangent).
The key figures are:
- Material characterization & radar cover (radomes) test
- Measurement of
- transmission in amplitude and phase
- relative permittivity and dissipation factor of
dielectric materials (plastics, coatings,…)
calculation of reflection/absorption
- Future proof: Both automotive radar bands (77/79G)
- Easy to handle: Measurement at a push of a button
- Simulation of transmission, reflection and absorption
vs thickness and frequency - Measurement of samples with small size
- Fast update time allows real time measurement
- Highest accuracy (0.1 dB / 1 deg)
- Comparability with measurements using VNA
(Vector Network Analyzer) and RMS-C - Positioning system for scanning measurements (optional)
- Cost effective solution compared to VNA systems
- Proven technology: worldwide in use by leading paint
manufacturers, exterior part suppliers, and OEMs since 2019

RMS-C
The RMS-C (Radome Measurement System – Clamp) is designed for end-of-line testing in production use. The system allows a cost-effective and reliable evaluation of radar covers.
The key figures are:
- End-of-Line (EoL) test of radar covers (radomes)
- Measurement of
- transmission in amplitude and phase
- reflection (as software option – in development)
- Future proof: Both automotive radar bands (77/79G)
- Fast measurement time allows test within a few seconds
- Flexible pointwise measurement: Allows to follow the
shape of the part in a robot-based setup (measurement
vertical to surface in every point of bumper) - Configurable setup: available with different arm
length and polarization - Highest accuracy (0.1 dB / 1 deg for transmission)
and transparent measurement procedure - Comparability with measurements using VNA
(Vector Network Analyzer) and RMS-D - Flexible integration in production: prepared for robot-based
process; remote control by Ethernet and powered with 24 VDC - Proven technology: worldwide in use for leading automotive
OEMs since 2020

We also offer customer specific solutions for end-of-line testing of radar covers (e.g. emblems) and complete bumpers. For more information, please contact our specialists!
Radar Target Simulator
The RTS (Radar Target Simulator) from perisens is an efficient tool to test automotive radar sensors in R&D and production. Our Radar Target Simulators are in operation in several installations worldwide since 2014 and have been continuously further developed. The RTS are based on analog signal processing and therefore provide absolutely realistic target behavior. The target simulators work independently of the used radar principle (FMCW, Chirp Sequence FMCW, FSK, Pseudo Noise, …) and are able to simulate one or more targets simultaneously. The received radar signal is down-converted from the radar frequency to an intermediate frequency (IF), where the target attributes are added (for one or more targets). Afterwards, the IF frequency is up-converted back to the radar frequency and sent back to the radar sensor. Through the modular structure of our target simulators we meet your individual needs – flexibly and cost sensitive.
The key features are:
- all automotive radar bands: 24GHz or 76/79GHz
- instantaneous bandwidth: 200MHz (24G) or 5,000MHz (76/79G)
- simulation of target properties in
- Range / Distance
- RCS / Attenuation
- Velocity / Doppler
- resolution (separability) analysis in range (5 mm steps) and velocity domain with offset target
- analog technology: Transparent behavior – suitable for all radar modulation types
- moving target simulation: e.g. evaluation of emergency breaking systems
- remote control via Ethernet with LXI
- calibrated IF output/input: Signal analysis & generation at intermediate frequency
- Radar Signal Analyzer (RSA) with 2 GHz bandwidth for FMCW analysis (optional)

Frequency Converter
perisens provides high-quality Frequency Converters (FC) covering the automotive radar bands at 24GHz and 76/77GHz. Our up and down converters allow fully calibrated signal analysis and signal generation at millimeter wavelengths using cost effective measurement devices at low GHz frequencies. The systems are available as seperate up and down converters or as combined up- and down converter in one device.
The key features are:
- all automotive radar bands: 24GHz or 76/79GHz
- bandwidth: 200MHz (24G) or 5,000MHz (76/79G)
- Build-in local oscillator
- fully calibrated (IF2RF and RF2IF)
