The SiRad Simple® Evaluation Kit demonstrates the performance and parameters of the 122 GHz
radar transceiver chip of Silicon Radar. The aim of the evaluation kit is to showcase the FMCW /
CW radar mode using a beginner-friendly system. Due to the flexibility of the system, it can be used
to change important radar parameters on-the-fly to learn to know the basics of radar signal
processing or to find specific parameter settings for a certain radar sensor application.
Silicon Radar puts the focus of the SiRad Simple® Evaluation Kit on an easy-to-use
approach and supports the customer with a set of default key parameters guaranteeing a
proper operation of the sensor (including automatically set parameters of optimized
operation mode).
