What do automatic doors and self-driving vehicles have in common? They share a need for the precise localization and motion detection of the people and objects around them. Specialized radar systems can offer highly reliable and robust solutions, but the hardware and software can be time-consuming and cost-intensive to develop. Fraunhofer IZM now offers a universal radar platform to facilitate the development of applications for positioning and motion detection.

The radar experts at Fraunhofer IZM have developed a compact MIMO radar system to track and localize people and objects in space. The 60 GHz radar system is part of a radar construction kit that was developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Berlin.

This radar construction kit makes it possibl ...
