Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) is expanding its
award-winning portfolio of autonomous driving validation test
solutions with the E8717A Lidar Target Simulator (LTS), which
enables automakers and lidar sensor makers to test and validate
lidar sensors for autonomous vehicles (AV).

Initially developed for use in meteorology and topography, lidar
is now being adopted as an automotive sensing technology that
enables AVs to “see” and safely navigate through complex driving
scenarios. As with radar-based systems, lidar sensor makers must
ensure lidar systems quickly and reliably detect objects, enabling
advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to work correctly before
they are commercially deployed. To properly test sensors, designers
currently need large floor spaces and use traditional target
boards. In addition, the industry is also faced with reducing
sensor cost and scaling to mass production.
The Keysight LTS solution addresses these challenges by
simulating test targets at defined distance and reflectivity with a
compact and standardized bench setup. This solution is designed to
simplify and accelerate the testing, validation, and production of
automotive lidar sensors through standardization and
automation.
The following benefits are provided by the Keysight LTS:
- Small footprint covering large distances – Compact bench
setup saves test floor space by simulating target distances from 3
meters to 300 meters and simulating surface reflectivity from 10%
to 94%.
- Insightful analytics improve sensor design and
performance – Powerful testing software generates insightful
analytics by sweeping target distance and reflectivity, enabling
design and performance improvements.
- Automated software accelerates testing – The LTS test
setup is fully automated using a cobot and powered by Keysight
PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing for test automation.
While the cobot provides precise device movement for field of view
testing, the automation software accelerates testing and throughput
to support volume production.
Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager for
Keysight's Automotive & Energy Solutions, said: “Keysight
sees an exciting role that lidar can play in enabling autonomous
vehicles to navigate more accurately with an extra sensor that
complements cameras and radars. With the market’s first
cobot-assisted lidar target simulator with variable distance and
reflectivity simulation, we are ready to support a volume roll out
of lidar with a scalable manufacturing test solution.”
Keysight will demonstrate the capabilities of the E8717A Lidar
Target Simulator at Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2023 in
Stuttgart, Germany, Hall 10 Booth #1332, June 13-15, 2023.
