If you plan your own sensor application several parameters need to be considered in a Pros and Cons overview. Just to highlight a few radar specific topics, there are the following:

  • the choice of the radar principle CW, FMCW, or pulsed radar
    • CW is essentially useful for detecting movements
    • FMCW also enables the distance measurement for a constant positioning
    • pulsed radar may offer advantages w.r.t. to available power (and reach or dynamic range) of single-pulse signals
  • the choice of the channel count starting from single channel up to massive MIMO configurations
    • single channel transceiver allows an easy, cost-efficient sensor solution for distance and speed measurements
    • multi-channel transceiver is required for resolving angular information and higher object resolution
  • the choice of the frequency range
    • will affect the antenna size
    • the attenuation of the radar beam transmitted
    • the available frequency band

The correct choice of these parameters depends on the specific use case and a generalized answer therefore not available. However, our Sales and Support team is pleased to support you with the right choice for your application.
