TI's solutions for long range radar detection (~1-1.5km range)

Hi,

I'm a Wireless Hardware Engineer based in Mountain View, Microsoft, my name is Shuo. I'm advised to file an inquiry through the TI forum and so here I am :)

Our team is kicking off a new project, on a high level, it is a ground based radar, that is mobile (can be carried around), able to detect intruders/objects within a range of ~1kim. It's going to be battery powered. We would like to learn what TI could offer with respect to such applications, in terms of chipsets, radar algorithms and corresponding front end/peripheral hardwares. A kickoff meeting between Microsoft and TI of the right party would be a great start. 

Thanks,

Shuo

  • Hello Shuo,

    Let me just check with the team on this information and get back to you.

  • Hi Shuo,

    Inquiries like this should be handled offline. Our field team will reach out to you.

    That being said, our automotive radars can do 100's of meters of detection with multiple chips cascaded. You may be able to extend that, but making it battery powered will be another large challenge, as well as complying with regulation.

    Best,

  • Thanks Nathan, definitely looking forward to an offline discussion between Microsoft Wireless HW team and TI team, where we can disclose more about the project nature. It goes beyond automative applications, such as intruders-humans/drones. My contact info is wangs@microsoft.com, 408-582-4410, based in Bay Area California. Please reach out to me through email and we can arrange something there.
