Radar Calibration
Car radar calibration is the process of adjusting and aligning the radar sensors installed in a vehicle to ensure accurate and reliable detection of objects and obstacles on the road. This calibration is necessary to maintain the proper functioning of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on radar technology, such as adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
During calibration, the radar sensors are tested and adjusted to ensure they are correctly aligned and calibrated according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This may involve using specialized equipment and software to measure and adjust the radar’s field of view, range, and sensitivity.
Proper calibration is crucial for the accurate functioning of ADAS features, as any misalignment or incorrect calibration can lead to false readings or failure to detect objects, potentially compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. Therefore, car radar calibration is typically performed by trained technicians using specialized tools and equipment to ensure optimal performance and safety.
