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.
