IMST offers three 24 GHz FMCW SENTIRETM Radar modules. The first one (sR-1200e) comes with integrated patch antennas while the second module (sR-1030e) is equipped with three coaxial connectors for external antennas. There are two receive channels/antennas with I/Q information and one transmit channel/antenna. The third module (sR-14MPc) has 1 transmit and 4 receive channels and applies the Monopulse method. All modules can operate in Doppler or FMCW mode for measuring of distances, angles and velocity of targets. The little “e” at the end of the product name stands for Ethernet with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) while “c” stands for CAN-bus.
All three 24 GHz FMCW SENTIRETM Radar modules are available as developer kits (DK-sR-1200e, DK-sR-1030e and DK-sR-14MPc). Each kit comprises a radar module, PC software and Android App with graphical user interface and Ethernet/CAN-bus interface for user-friendly startup, testing and application specific integration of the radar unit. The software SenTool allows parameter settings and visualization of measured radar data. Typical parameters are detection range, resolution, frequency bandwidth, output power, radar signal shape and duration.
Several accessories are available for the radar products. Especially two different types of patch antennas (linear or circular polarized).
