To give the Japanese automotive industry a competitive edge in innovation, Rohde & Schwarz has established a new, larger office with more capabilities in Osaki, Japan. In addition to more room for holding customer events, the new site, which replaces the original one in Shinjuku, has greatly improved facilities for test equipment service, maintenance, calibration, and technical support.
Rohde & Schwarz Munich/Osaki office locations host demonstrations developed in partnership with top automotive industry partners and to pivotally focus on automotive testing.
Noashi Saito, General Manager of Rohde & Schwarz Japan commented, “We are very proud of our new facility in Osaki, and we invite the Japanese automotive community to make the most of this resource and the talented staff who work here.”
EMC measurements under dynamic driving conditions with AIP Automotive
Vehicles’ electromagnetic emissions, especially those of EVs, vary greatly according on how they are operating. Therefore, testing an electric vehicle under dynamic driving conditions is crucial to gaining an accurate understanding of its EMC performance.
Vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1s can evaluate the EMC performance of their designs under realistic operating situations by using a test system that combines automation software and EMC receivers from Rohde & Schwarz with the AIP EMC Chassis Dynamometer.
In order to conduct vehicle-in-the-loop radar testing in a controlled environment, AIP has enhanced this system using R&S radar target simulators.
Fast service and support turnaround times for AIP are made possible by the new R&S office in Osaki, which is close to AIP’s new office and has a dedicated area for EMC equipment calibration.
Rohde & Schwarz strengthens in vehicle network compliance testing in Japan with GRL and Analog Devices
In order to enable in-vehicle network compliance testing in Japan, Rohde & Schwarz is extending its collaboration with Granite River Labs (GRL) and Analog Devices (ADI).
Rohde & Schwarz test equipment has been used in the past by GRL, a provider of compliance test and certification services for standards such multigigabit Ethernet and Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA). Through the OpenGMSL Association, ADI is collaborating closely with Rohde & Schwarz to foster the adoption of the new OpenGMSL standard.
The partnership is bolstered by Rohde & Schwarz Japan’s recently expanded facilities and the availability of state-of-the-art oscilloscopes and vector network analyzers, which are made to ensure fast and reliable testing that complies with standards, including solutions made especially for the Japanese market.
This will speed up testing procedures and make it easier to develop and implement OpenGMSL-based solutions. In order to support the global automotive ecosystem, local knowledge and tools must be readily available.
Rohde & Schwarz and IPG Automotive improve radar testing capability for autonomous driving.
IPG Automotive partners with Rohde & Schwarz to integrate Automotive Radar Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing from the proving ground into the development lab.
The collaboration combines IPG Automotive’s CarMaker simulation software with Rohde & Schwarz’s scalable AREG800A radar target simulator, the R&S QAT100 advanced antenna array, and the compact R&S RadEsT target simulator.
With the help of this combination, vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers to simuklate ADAS/AD scenarios—including those outlined in Euro NCAP—in a controlled, safe, economical, and time-efficient environment.
In addition to developing local traffic scenario simulations unique to Japan, the two companies collaboratively set up and showcase HIL systems in the expanded office facilities in Osaki.
MediaTek and Rohde & Schwarz expand automotive NTN testing to Japan
Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are actively explored by the automotive sector to offer ubiquitous wireless connectivity for always-connected vehicles.
The Rohde & Schwarz CMX500 radiocommunication tester, a versatile solution for testing several NTN technologies like NR-NTN, NB-NTN, and Direct-To-Cell (D2C, DTC), has been used to showcase the capabilities of the most recent NR-NTN device from innovative chipset developer MediaTek.
The CMX500 has a dedicated NTN workspace for displaying installed networks and associated parameters, in addition to multiband and multi-orbit capability.
Rohde & Schwarz uses its knowledge of wireless and automotive technology to assist in navigating NTN’s challenges, identifying essential vehicle components, and revealing the function of testing in the development of NTN-enabled vehicles. MediaTek and Rohde & Schwarz have a global partnership that now includes Japan in addition to Europe, North America, and China.
The office in Osaki will facilitate a greater number of projects for Japanese automotive partners, including faster support for local NTN projects with MediaTek.
The R&S CMX500 empowers customers in Japan to test and optimize the entire NTN integration chain — from chipsets and modules to antennas, TCUs, and vehicles and validates NTN vehicle connectivity tailored to the Japanese market.
