3-Axis Motion Simulators
When a device under test needs to be stimulated with simultaneous movements around three axes, then a product from the ACUTRONIC three-axis motion simulator range is the right choice. Independent motion simulation in three axes makes them very versatile: they are used as Inertial Guidance Test Systems (IGTS), for HardWare-In-the-Loop (HWIL) testing, for the test of optronic pointing devices, and many more applications.

Test Hardware
TTPSimulate PCI
TTPSimulate supports hardware-in-the-loop simulation and design of complex distributed control systems where some parts of the systems are physically available and others exist only as a simulation model. This board enables concurrent engineering and reliable integration of complex integrated systems in large programs.

Doppler Radar Target Simulators
Automotive radar sensors play a vital role in the current development of autonomous driving. Their ability to detect objects even under adverse conditions makes them indispensable for environment-sensing tasks in autonomous vehicles. As their functional operation must be validated in-place, a fully integrated test system is required. Radar Target Simulators (RTS) are capable of executing end-of-line, over-the-air validation tests by looping back a received and afterward modified radar signal and have been incorporated into existing Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) test beds before. However, the currently available ViL test beds and the RTS systems that they consist of lack the ability to generate authentic radar echoes with respect to their complexity. The paper at hand reviews the current development stage of the research as well as commercial ViL and RTS systems. Furthermore, the concept and implementation of a new test setup for the rapid prototyping and validation of ADAS functions is presented. This represents the first-ever integrated radar validation test system to comprise multiple angle-resolved radar target channels, each capable of generating multiple radar echoes. A measurement campaign that supports this claim has been conducted.
