UPCOMING I DRVEGRD 169
CORNER RADAR
![[Translate to Chinesisch:] smartmicro's DRVEGRD 169: Multi-Mode Corner Radar](/fileadmin/_processed_/0/9/csm_smartmicro_Automotive_Corner_Radar_DRVEGRD_169_233088cb27.png)
Installed on a driving platform, smartmicro's newest radar spans a fine grid for detecting and separating objects in its field of view. DRVEGRD 169 is a highly-innovative sensor aiming to increase safety by detecting potential collisions, triggering warning signals, and supporting automated safety functions.
- User-selectable operation modes, antennas, and frequencies: 76GHz to 81GHz
- 4 Dimensions (4D): range, speed, azimuth and elevation angle
- Pixel-High Definition (PxHD) resolution: true angular separation
- Blind and misalignment diagnosis, interference suppression
- Plug-and-play 360° sensor data fusion
For On-Road and Industrial Use Cases:
TECHNICAL DETAILS
- Field of view of 140°+ horizontally
- Coverage of 28° in elevation
- Range interval of 0.1 to 130 meters (426.5 ft)
- True range (10cm/3.9 in) and speed separation (0.1m/s) of objects
ADJUSTABLE OPERATION MODES
DRVEGRD 169 is a 79 GHz (76GHz to 81GHz) radar sensor with adjustable software-defined operation modes, antennas, and frequencies, to faultlessly cover the field of view in each use case.
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY
The radar’s hardware includes NXP's latest 16nm-FinFET Radar MCU S32R29, as well as RF CMOS Radar Transceiver TEF82xx.
INCREASED PERFORMANCE
DRVEGRD 169 has significantly boosted processing power, increased output of point clouds, and higher resolution - targeting ASIL-B (SEooC) and NCAP.
RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to the sensor's almost unbreakable design, its performance is unaffected by harsh weather conditions and works in critical environments.
Use Cases
CONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS
15% of fatal work-related accidents on construction sites in Germany in 2019 were caused by collisions with moving heavy construction vehicles. A reliable 360° coverage around fast-moving vehicles is necessary to ensure safety in the areas that are hardly observable for the driver.
PARKING APPLICATIONS
