K-MD7 24GHz digital 2D radar transceiver
RFbeam has unveiled a new 24GHz digital radar sensor for traffic applications at Electronica 2022 in Munich. The sensor is based on the same technology as the already known K-LD7 sensor and has the following features:
- Speed, distance and angle measurement
- Detects moving objects up to 200 km/h
- Pulsed FSK signal processing to lower power consumption
- Multi-target tracking for up to 8 moving objects
- Target list output over serial UART interface
- Wide operating voltage range of 3.2 to 5.5V
- 34 x 30 degree beam pattern
- Detection distance: 50m for persons and 150m for cars
The K-MD7 is an evolution of the successful K-LD7 with a more narrow antenna and more processing power. This allows higher detection distances and tracking of multiple objects up to 200m. A wide range of filter functions and parameters help optimize sensor functionality for different application requirements. No special knowledge of analog or digital signal processing is required, which speeds up the time-to-market for new developments.
In addition to the sensor, an evaluation kit is also presented, which enables convenient parameterization and evaluation of the sensor in the usual RFbeam manner.
K-MD7 evaluation kit
First evaluation kits will be available from Q2 / 2023.
