V-LD1 61GHz FMCW radar distance sensor
RFbeam unveiled its latest development at Electronica 2022 in Munich, Germany. A small and low cost 61GHz FMCW distance measurement sensor with the following highlights:
- Precise distance measurement with mm accuracy
- Fully digital with distance output over serial interface
- Ultra Small SMD form factor (12mm x 16mm)
- Single 1.8V power supply for simple integration
- Low power mode with lower duty cycles
- Perfect for simple tank leveling applications
No special knowledge in analog or digital signal processing is needed to adapt the module to different applications resulting in a fast time to market. Transmit frequency and sweep bandwidth are controlled internally and a selection of settings is available to adapt to your application requirements.
The beam width of the module itself is 80 x 80 degrees. However, RFbeam also offers an evaluation kit in combination with a plastic lens that focuses the beam to 6 x 6 degrees, which is perfect for tank leveling applications.
V-LD1 evaluation kit
First evaluation kits will be available from Q2 / 2023.
