Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods of finding optimized analog measurement hardware settings of a measurement system for a target measurement. The method can include one or more of the following steps: applying initial settings to the measurement system; varying the settings over a power sweep while processing a test signal used for the target measurement or a representative signal; performing the target measurement during the power sweep, thereby determining a hardware contribution of the measurement system over the power sweep; and identifying the respective settings that lead to a minimum hardware contribution of the measurement system at various powers.

Abstract: A setting of a measurement instrument comprises the providing a reference measurement instrument that uses at least one instrument parameter. A training phase is performed for a particular signal type to be processed by said reference measurement instrument in order to retrieve an optimal setting for said at least one instrument parameter. A lookup table is created for said particular signal type, said lookup table comprising at least said optimal setting for said at least one instrument parameter.

Abstract: A method for analyzing the resolution and/or the accuracy of a transmission unit of a radar sensor is described wherein a transmitter signal is received via a receiving unit. At least one echo signal based on said received signal is simulated. The frequency difference of said transmitter signal and said echo signal is determined. Said frequency difference is filtered and transformed in order to obtain a transform. At least one maximum of said frequency difference in said transform is detected. Spectral properties of said frequency difference in said transform are determined. At least one quality parameter of said spectral properties is outputted. Further, a radar sensor is described.
