Short-range radar has many potential applications, such as gesture control, contactless vital-signs monitoring, presence detection, and more. Some radar-on-chip solutions that integrate signal processing and RF components are available today, but most of them are designed for automotive anti-collision applications that require long-range detection and higher power consumption. These solutions are not suitable for low-power or low-cost applications.
CSEM has developed a low-cost, ultra-low-power 60 GHz MIMO FMCW PHY that can be integrated into radar-on-chips with custom digital processing for specific applications. This solution leverages CSEM’s decades of experience in ultra-low-power RF CMOS system-on-chip design.
