How low-power 60-GHz mmWave radar sensors enable high-accuracy sensing in more applications than ever before

Radar-based sensor ICs are becoming a popular sensing technology due to their long-range capabilities, high-motion sensitivity, and privacy capabilities. With their high accuracy, radar sensors are widely used in automotive and industrial markets for applications such as blind spot detection, collision detection, people presence and motion detection. In recent years, 60-GHz and 77-GHz radar sensors have replaced 24-GHz radar sensors – delivering higher resolution, improved accuracy, and smaller form-factors. These radar bands have also enabled several new applications in both automotive and industrial markets such as child presence detection in vehicles and elderly fall detection in hospitals.
