HONG KONG SAR�-�Media OutReach�-�2 February 2021 - Global technology-solutions provider Arrow
Electronics, Inc. today announced the launch of an integrated millimeter-wave (mmWave)
radar-sensing solution, based on Infineon's XENSIV� mmWave
radar chip. �This integrated module solution, manufactured
by Jorjin Technologies, enables engineers to rapidly
deploy detecting and tracking capability of micro and macro motions with high
sensitivity and accuracy for developing next-generation smart
home and building and healthcare applications.
Arrow Electronics launches an integrated high- precision and low-power millimeter-wave radar-sensing solution for detecting and tracking Micro Motions
�
According to a recent research report, the
radar sensors market is expected to reach USD 22 billion by 2025, registering a
CAGR of around 18 percent in the next five years1. The proliferation
of radar-sensing technology has been driven by technological advancements and increasing
demand for more intuitive presence and motion-detection features to enhance user
experience, security, and safety.
Comparing to traditional passive infrared and ultrasonic sensors, mmWave radar-sensing
technology offers many performance benefits.�
Radar sensors do not require operating with a direct line of sight,
making it possible to be concealed or disguised underneath plywood or plastic
enclosures for addressing privacy and security considerations.� Radar sensing is also highly adaptable to
environmental conditions such as darkness, sunshine, smoke, fog, or haze, thus reducing
detection errors and improving accuracy.��
�
This all-in-one integrated solution enables
the detection of human presence within a configurable range. �Micro-movement detection like typing in front
of a notebook and macro-movement detection like walking inside a room can be
detected. Powered by
Infineon's XENSIV� mmWave radar
chip and its proprietary radar presence detection
algorithms, the solution incorporates a processor system based on Infineon's ARM
Cortex-M4F, an integrated 1Tx/3Rx antenna, and an on-board power regulator.� The unique antenna in package
(AIP) with built-in detector feature makes it easier for engineers to integrate
mmWave radar sensing capability, without prior technical know-how in radio
frequency, antenna design or radar signal processing.� Low power consumption and small-form-factor offer
cost-effective benefits.� The
solution is FCC pre-test ready.
�
"Arrow's extensive sensing technology
portfolio, engineering services, and industry expertise help engineers and
innovators acquire the kind of technological capabilities it takes to create,
make, and manage smart and connected devices.�
Infineon's mmWave radar technology is a great addition to our IoT
portfolio.� Our technical collaboration with
Jorjin Technologies enables us to bring to market this integrated and ready-to-use
module for quick adoption of mmWave radar technology," said Esmond Wong,
Arrow's vice president of supplier management for the Asia-Pacific region.
Jorjin Technologies is a leading module
solution provider in Taiwan specializing in AR and IoT.� "We are excited to work with Infineon and
Arrow to facilitate the diffusion of mmWave radar technology into new fields
such as smart home, security and even healthcare applications.� With more than 10
years of industry experience, our module design and production expertise help simplify
the implementation of mmWave sensor solutions," said Tom Liang, Chairman of
Jorjin Technologies.
�
To help engineers designing mmWave radar-sensing
technology, Arrow now offers the integrated module solution MM5D91-00
and evaluation kit MM5D91E00
from Jorjin Technologies.� For more information, visit https://www.arrow.com/en/research-and-events/articles/millimeter-wave-radar.
