A few physical phenomena like reflections negatively influence a radar sensor’s
performance from its function point of view. Automotive radars are illuminating
environment targets and highway barriers as reflection surfaces, which reproducibly
generates several multipath reflections.
Therefore, studying the attenuation, reflection, and absorption of the traffic barriers is
one of the key tools for software verification test-beds in advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS).
A measurement setup has been developed by IHE to carry out deterministic tests
and investigate attenuation, reflection, and absorption of radar wave propagation in
the environment. For this purpose, different materials like a car bumper, traffic
barriers (like road signs, and guardrail), asphalt are prepared to study. The goal is to
compare the influences and effects of the specular reflections to diffuse reflections.
