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
With the Radome Measurement Systems (RMS) perisens offers an solution for every stage of the entire product life cycle of automotive radomes:
From material development and radar cover design to series production and quality control.
Our RMS systems are worldwide in use in >100 installations by leading OEM, radar sensor supplier, exterior part supplier and plastic, paint and pigment manufacturer since 2019.
The RMS system is available in two versions RMS-D-77/79G for R&D and quality control and RMS-C-77/79G for production and quality control.

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)
