Ray Tracing Design Kit PathWave System Design (SystemVue)

PublishTime：2020-08-19

The demand for autonomous vehicles (AVs) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is causing rapid growth in automotive radar solutions. New frequency ranges and new types of radar signals are changing the capabilities of this safety technology and challenging developers to handle increasingly complicated radar processing. Testing designs with many different complex scenarios is necessary to validate radar algorithm performance. Companies are turning to simulation to manage risk in mission-critical applications and to help validate their designs earlier in the design cycle, reducing complex and costly real-world testing.
Ray Tracing is a technique that applies ray optics to radar reflection. This approach can model the reflections of many objects to represent real-world scenarios. A simple user interface allows designers to create an environment scenario with a library of models including vehicles, pedestrians, and stationary roadside objects. Once the location of the radar emitter is defined, the engine calculates the reflections from all the objects in the scenario and provides an environment model that can be passed to PathWave System Design (SystemVue) for inclusion in a radar system simulation.
The Ray Tracing Design Kit offers automotive radar system developers a high-fidelity scenario modeling capability to enhance their current system design flow. The user interface is launched from within PathWave System Design (SystemVue). The tool offers several configurations to trade off accuracy for speed, including overall scenario time, ray density, field of view (FOV) and model fidelity.

Key Technical Features of the Ray Tracing Design Kit
•Shooting and bouncing ray (SBR) based Multiple Ray Tracing (MRT) technique
•Calculates time-varying channel response from a single radar source
•Material properties are used for edge scattering and surface roughness calculations for increased accuracy of complex scenarios
•Library of models for both vehicles, pedestrians, and stationary objects, expandable by import of standard CAD format models by users
