Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar sensors can detect objects and provide data regarding their range, velocity, and angle to your system. Operating between 30 and 300 GHz, contactless mmWave radar employs short wavelengths to provide sub-millimeter range accuracy while achieving high resolution.
Radar can penetrate materials such as plastic, drywall, and clothing. Unlike optical time-of-flight sensors, radar sensors work reliably in rain, fog, dust, and snow, and they can detect transparent and dark surfaces. Moreover, mmWave radar’s short wavelengths enable physically compact system components such as antennas.
