Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have become an ubiquitous feature on almost all new vehicles. With the development of any new test, there is the process of first determining the purpose of the test by identifying known and potential vulnerabilities, then finding effective ways of exercising and verifying performance. The systems employed in providing ADAS use several technologies, some of which are relatively new to EMC testing methods. This talk discusses the details of traditional EMC testing and the adaptation of some of these to meet the needs of adequately exercising ADAS related features, and the special considerations associated with testing safety systems that are integral to a driver’s safe operation of a vehicle

Biography:

Garth D’Abreu is the Director, Automotive Solutions at ETS-Lindgren based at the corporate headquarters office in Cedar Park, Texas. He currently has primary responsibility for the design and development functions within the Systems Engineering group, specializing in turnkey solutions for Automotive EMC, Wireless and OTA test integration. Some of these more complex full vehicle and ESA test chambers involve his coordination with the RF engineering team on custom components, and the certified, internal Building Information Modeling (BIM) team at ETS-Lindgren.

He is also the ETS-Lindgren subject matter expert responsible for the ongoing research and development of Reverberation chambers, GTEM cells, and supports the RF filters, EMP applications and wireless device test systems groups. Automotive EMC, Antenna Measurement, and Wireless Test Systems for modern vehicles, incorporate multiple measurement techniques and chamber combinations, for which his expertise is well suited.

Mr. D’Abreu is a Senior Member of the IEEE EMC Society and active participant in standards development as a member of the US ISO and CISPR D automotive EMC standards committees. He has over 27 years of experience in the RF industry and holds a BSc degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering, from North London University, UK.
