LIFETIME PRODUCT TRACEABILITY
There are clearly defined pass and fail criteria at all stages within the Ariel test
process. The test results in association with the product build revision are recorded
on a product serial number basis. The full suite of test measurements is instantly
sent to the dedicated product database within the AGD secure server facility,
providing full traceability during the product lifetime.
The AGD Certified symbol is your mark of assured performance.

FULL
RANGE
Ariel is dedicated to the testing of the
AGD portfolio of ‘ranging’ FMCW vehicle radars.
It provides true range simulation and both target
speed and direction simulation at a
given range
Ariel™ is a bespoke set of test
equipment designed and developed
by AGD Systems. It is dedicated to the
testing of the AGD portfolio of ‘ranging’
FMCW vehicle radars. 100% of the 350
units manufactured at AGD are
Certified by Ariel.
The key test
functions performed
by Ariel to Certify the
premium performance of your
Intelligent Detection System are:
• True range simulation of target
• Target speed and direction simulation
at a given range
• Radar target processing optimisation
• Transmitted radar frequency
modulation measurement
• Verification of interface and
communication protocols
• Test cycle time of 9 minutes
The radar test sequences performed
by Ariel on the radar under test
provides a thorough examination of
the performance of the 350 radar and
specifically the ranging measurement
capability provided by the FMCW
technology deployed. This gives full
control of simulated targets’ signal
size, speed, direction and range.
Optimisation of frequency signals on
Ariel ensures full compatibility with
country requirements within the 24GHz
radar operating band.
