1 Introduction

Radar proximity sensor (RPS) is a hazard monitoring sensor that overcomes the challenges of vision-

sensing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to realise L2/L3 applications by providing

direct measurement of range, velocity and angle of arrival in azimuth and elevation. It offers a safer,

efficient, and easier driving experience which is built upon FMCW MIMO technology in the millimeter

wave (mmWave) 77-81 GHz band utilising a wide 4GHz bandwidth. It can detect object structure and

is generally unaffected by harsh operating conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and ambient lighting.

Key Features:

• Efficient, screw-less enclosure design that incorporates cutting-edge mmWave radar optimised

material for the housing, along with an E-coated, cast aluminium alloy back plate which can act

as a heatsink to the sensor module. Achieves both IP67 & IPx9k rating. Withstands harsh

operating environment, low profile for easy integration and can be hidden behind radome panels.

• CAN-FD enabled, 77 GHz FMCW radar sensor with 3 transmitters and 4 receivers and can be

configured to run multiple custom radar modes triggered by CAN commands. Multiple radars can

be used on a single bus to create a complete system to support a suite of ADAS features.

• Antenna-on-mezzanine multi-PCBA design enables flexibility on RF design and implementation

of antenna array options.

• Software defined simultaneous ultra-short range, medium-range and long-range radar

application.
