mmWave Radar

mmWave Solution bridges Hardware & Software World together with Simplicity

Joybien Batman BM502 mmWave EVM Kit is a Texas Instruments (TI) IWR6843AOP ASIC based millimeter-wave (mmWave) Kit with Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology capable of operation in the 60GHz to 64GHz band with up to 4 GHz continuous chirp, using 3 Transmission Antennas and 4 Receiving Antennas, for sensing target object’s range, velocity, and angle parameters.

Batman BM502 mmWave EVM Kit consists of an extremely light and compact mmWave Module (with approx. 1/3 of the size of the previous Batman series mmWave Module; along with low-power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate, and lighting condition independent versatilities), a Module Carrier Board that brings user experience and hardware integration flexibilities, and a Pi-Hat-Board for simple and direct connectivity to a Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson Nano computer; suitable for various applications including: Education, Engineering, Science, Industrial, Medical, and Business & Consumer.

Applications

Education’s Practical Radar Introduction
Engineering & Science’s Motion Detection, Displacement, etc.
Industrial sensor for Displacement & Safe Guard, Factory Automation, Robotics, etc.
Building Automation sensor for Occupancy Detection, Proximity & Position sensing, People Counting, People Density, Security and Surveillance,
Healthcare’s Vital Signs Detection, People Fall Detection, etc.
Business’ Traffic Monitoring, and Proximity Advertisement
Consumer’s Gesture Recognition, Obstacle Avoidance, etc.

Fall Detection Sensing (FDS)

For wireless sensing of people-fall-detection along with people movement & tracking in 3-Dimensional region covering 6m x 6m area without privacy invasion. The sensed people behavior data are with Position X/Y/Z, Velocity X/Y/Z, and Acceleration X/Y/Z parameters suitable for people movement analysis such as standing, sitting, lying down or falling down positions.
