This presentation introduces the concept of blocked force in NVH testing, a key metric representing the vibratory force a lidar sensor exerts on an infinitely rigid mount. It serves as a standardized indicator of structure-borne vibration emissions, with higher values signaling greater potential to induce noise and interfere with surrounding components. The presentation outlines relevant measurement standards that suppliers may be required to follow prior to sourcing, enabling more informed decisions in sensor integration for automotive applications.

• The concept of blocked force and its importance in quantifying structure-borne vibration from lidar sensors in NVH analysis
• How high blocked force values can impact sensor integration, potentially affecting noise levels and surrounding component performance
• Insights into standardized measurement techniques and supplier requirements to evaluate blocked force before sourcing lidar systems
