New Adapter Board from Rutronik System Solutions
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.
“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.
The RAB3 features high-performance components. The Nisshinbo 60GHz Smart Sensor Micro-Module offers a non-contact and highly accurate measurement solution. Radar sensing at 60 GHz is a non-contact and highly accurate measurement solution. This is beneficial for realizing applications for distance measurement or people counting with the distance, angle, and state detection sensor using 60 GHz band millimeter wave. With the Infineon XENSIV 60 GHz Radar Sensor, a discrete radar IC complements the latest radar technology provided with the RAB3. Thanks to its small form factor and low power consumption, this 60 GHz radar sensor comes with one transmitting and three receiving antennas. The L-shaped antenna can be used for array, horizontal, and vertical angular measurement. This enables advanced radar sensing.
Thanks to the Arduino interface, the RAB3 is easy to combine with all other Base Boards and Adapter Boards from Rutronik System Solutions.
