mmWave Radar: Enabling Greater Intelligent Autonomy at the Edge

Sensing at the edge is not new in concept or practice. Today it is commonplace for sensors to detect presence and take actions such as automatically opening doors, alerting drivers to obstacles behind them, or turning lights on or off. Traditionally, though, there have been limits to the effectiveness of these sensing applications.

Today, improvement to ordinary applications is becoming a reality with the adoption of millimeter wave (mmWave) radar sensing. Based on integrated circuits that are optimized for size, power and cost, mmWave sensors are available in single-chip solutions that fit readily into even the most space-constrained systems. In applications, mmWave radar enables intelligent autonomy for decision-making at the edge.
