A111-003 Overview
The A111-003 (hereafter referred to as A111) is a
radar system based on pulsed coherent radar
(PCR) technology and is setting a new
benchmark for power consumption and distance
accuracy – fully integrated in a small package of
29 mm
2
.
The A111 60 GHz radar system is optimized for
high precision and ultra-low power, delivered as a
one package solution with integrated Baseband,
RF front-end and Antenna in Package (AiP). This
will enable easy integration into any portable
battery driven device.
The A111 is based on leading-edge patented
sensor technology with pico-second time
resolution, capable of measuring absolute
distance with mm accuracy up to a range of
2 m
(1)
and with configurable update rate.
The A111 60 GHz radar remains uncompromised
by any natural source of interference, such as
noise, dust, color and direct or indirect light.
Applications
•
High precision distance measurements with
mm accuracy and high update rate
•
Ultra-low power consumption, e.g. average
power consumption 0.2 mW at 0.1 Hz update
rate, 3 mW at 10 Hz update rate and 20 mW
at 100 Hz update rate
•
Proximity detection with high accuracy and
the possibility to define multiple proximity
zones
•
Motion detection, Speed detection
•
Enables material detection
•
High precision object tracking, enabling
gesture control
•
High precision tracking of 3D objects
•
Monitor vital life signs such as breathing and
pulse rate
•
Only for factory installation in the interior of
new passenger motor vehicles
