Acconeer AB’s A1 SRD radar sensors are available for immediate shipment worldwide through Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic components distributor, thanks to a new distribution agreement.
The A1 radar sensor is based on a unique patented technology enabling mm accuracy with very low power consumption. The sensor is based on PCR (Pulsed Coherent Radar) technology, that gives several strong advantages including extremely high range resolution while only consuming micro watts of power, and offers unique possibilities for integration into other devices. Attributes include accuracy, low current consumption, motion and gestures, material identification, and easy integration.
Acconeer’s ground-breaking 3D sensor technology creates endless possibilities in a wide range of application for multiple industries, including: Robots & Drones, Mobile & Wearables, IoT, Power Tools & Industrial, Healthcare & Fitness, and Automotive.
Acconeer is a leading radar sensor company based in Lund, south Sweden, in Ideon, the country’s hottest region for wireless technologies. Acconeer has developed a truly leading ultra-low power, high precision 3D sensor which will revolutionize the way that mobile devices interpret their surroundings. Acconeer’s ultra-low power and millimeter precision sensor is a robust and cost-effective solution for applications ranging from virtual reality and gaming to security and robot control. Information from the sensor can also be used to identify different materials, These are just some examples of the wide range of possibilities of application areas for the sensor.
Key characteristics:
- mm Accuracy – distance mm accuracy for one or multiple objects
- Movement & Speed measurement – continuous measurements up to 1500 Hz
- Material identification – distinguish between materials with different dielectric constant.
- Microwatt – enables integration into any battery driven device
- Optimized integration – small one chip solution with embedded RF and antenna solution that requires no need for aperture
- Robustness – not compromised by any natural source of interference such as noise, dust, color, direct or indirect light
The need for power efficient, advanced, high precision 3D sensors in a small form factor is growing, and Digi-Keys new partnership with Acconeer will assist in driving global technology trends into the future.
