Radar-based applications in distance measurement and people detection
Reliable solutions for distance measurement as well as people and surface detection play a key role in IoT applications. Here, there is a strong demand for smaller and lower power radars. With the RAB3, the experts from Rutronik System Solutions are expanding their board family with an Adapter Board to test the use of a fully integrated module as well as the possibility of a discrete development. By accelerating the pre-development phase and reducing costs, the RAB3 helps to bring radar-based applications to market faster.
IoT control applications have become a trend and with it the demand for sensing devices to collect information. Here radar sensing is highly robust and stable with respect to external conditions such as temperature changes and ambient light.
"Furthermore, radar detects motion, but does not use the actual images, thus providing a real privacy benefit. With our RAB3, you benefit from a development environment to test compact and lower power radar applications," notes Stephan Menze, Head of Global Innovation Management at Rutronik.
Get to know the RAB3 at the Rutronik Booth 659 (Hall 7) at PCIM Europe 2024 in Nuremberg.
