Conclusion

In conclusion, adoption of mmWave radar sensors by car manufacturers is continuously increasing due to the benefits it brings for various applications – long range, mid range , short range and ultra-short range and in-cabin applications. Primarily, radar being agnostic to weather and environmental conditions, makes it extremely important to increase reliability and safety of the car. As the number of sensors increases with autotomy, performance and cost are the main key care abouts. With high level of integration with antenna, radar transceiver, digital signal processor, microcontroller and interface peripherals all onto one chip, in addition to performance, automakers and Tier-1 suppliers are able to reduce overall system costs. In addition, multimodal functionality allows extending these existing sensors from ADAS, with high performance long range to emerging applications such as parking with short range and higher resolution. Developers also have a wide and scalable range of solutions to choose from the TI portfolio based on their design needs. TI’s whole product offering, hardware, software and reference designs, for each of these applications makes adoption easier and enables a faster time to market.
