Centralized Architecture for Automotive ADAS/AD Radar Based on Raw-ADC-Data


This white paper examines the automotive industry's transition from edge-based radar to centralized processing architectures using raw ADC satellite sensors to enable advanced "Deep" or "Early" sensor fusion by overcoming the compute and memory bottlenecks. It explores the benefits of the centralized architecture and introduces Infineon’s CTRX8191F and CTRX8188F devices for best-in-class RF p... » read more

Radar SLAM Application on Vision DSPs based on Novel IO-ICP


With the increasing use of vision, radar and LiDAR in autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, and augmented reality, there is a greater demand for the capability and performance of multimodal sensing applications. This demand requires sophisticated multi-sensing algorithms and powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) to run them. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has revolutionized ... » read more

Accelerating 4D Imaging Radar with Vision 4DR


4D imaging radar enhances automotive sensing by adding elevation to traditional range, velocity, and azimuth measurements. This enables better target detection and classification, enabling safer driving decisions. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology has expanded the role of radar sensing from tracking moving targets to high-resolution imaging of the surroundings. High... » read more

Unlocking The Potential Of Ultra-Wideband Radar Technology


Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range wireless communication technology that was once intended for military applications. In 2002, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exempted its license and made it available for public use. Since then, UWB technology has evolved over time, transforming the way devices interact by offering secure ranging and precision sensing capabilities. With... » read more

Smarter Cars, Higher Stakes


Artificial intelligence is turbocharging automotive innovation, but it's also unleashing a tangle of high stakes risks that engineers and security experts are scrambling to contain. The push to embed AI deep into today’s vehicles is changing how cars are built, how they handle the road, and how they keep passengers safe. But as onboard intelligence expands, so do the risks. AI systems that... » read more

4D mmWave Radar-Based Road Boundary Detection System


A new technical paper titled "Road Boundary Detection Using 4D mmWave Radar for Autonomous Driving" was published by Stanford University. Abstract "Detecting road boundaries, the static physical edges of the available driving area, is important for safe navigation and effective path planning in autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Traditionally, road boundary de... » read more

Software-Defined Radar Is First Leap On SDV Path


Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) have had car company marketers in a veritable tizzy for several years, and while they generally agree on the direction, they differ on the speed and route to adoption. For most OEMs, a wholesale change in vehicle architecture, from hood ornament to trunk-latch, is easier said than done. Legacy systems, both hardware and software, are the millstone around OEMs... » read more

Ghostbusting With Simulation: Solving Engineering Challenges In Automotive Radar Development

Radar, AI, And Increasing Autonomy Are Redefining Auto IC Designs


Increasing levels of autonomy in vehicles are fundamentally changing which technologies are chosen, how they are used and interact with each other, and how they will evolve throughout a vehicle's lifetime. Entire vehicle architectures are being reshaped continuously to enable the application of AI across a broad swath of functions, prompting increasing investment into technologies that were ... » read more

Radar vs. PIR: Selecting the Right Solution


As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar's enhanced features, it's essential to reassess whether PIR remains the best choice for your specific application or if radar's advantages can bring greater value. The purpose of this material is to provide a... » read more
