Introduction
This document provides examples on how the Performance Radar Analysis
System can be used to measure ultra wideband automotive FMCW radar signals.
The measurements are usually divided into two types, swept measurements and
measurements requiring time sampled data.
The ETSI standards had defined measurements for 79 GHz automotive radar that
requires swept measurements with spectrum analyzer and millimeter wave down
conversion. This is where the N9041B spectrum analyzer is excellent for this
purpose, with the ability to make continuous sweeps from 3 Hz to 110 GHz. It can
capture low level spurious as low as -150 dBm/Hz even above 50 GHz, due to a
unique software pre-selector algorithm.
The N9041B has also ultra wideband bandwidth. For the type of analysis of
signals with bandwidth larger than 1 GHz and which requires time sampled data,
the down converted signal can be routed to the rear wideband IF connector. The
IF signal can then be analyzed with a DSO804A oscilloscope and VSA89600
software. This guide will show how this step can be performed. It will also briefly
highlight frequency modulated continuous wave(FMCW) automotive radar
analysis with the BN-BHP radar analysis package.
This guide is not a replacement for the startup and installation guides of the
instruments and software. The respective documents and user manuals can be
found at the resources center at the following links and should be consulted first.

The software help section in the VSA89600 contains all the required user manual
and documentation. More information about the VSA and the radar analysis
