Vayyar Imaging has introduced what it claims is the first single radio frequency IC (RFIC) with a 48-antenna multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) array.
With a range of 0 to 300 meters, the XRR chip provides radar imaging for numerous safety operations inside passenger cars, trucks and motorcycles.
The XRR chip includes an ultra-wide field of view and rich 4D point cloud imaging to support advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), advanced radar assistance systems (ARAS) and autonomy features. The chip also eliminates the need for multiple vehicle sensors, reduces power consumption, wiring and integration costs.
The real-time 4D detection identifies and tracks objects simultaneously even in heavy traffic, darkness or fog.
The XRR chip can differentiate between static obstacles such as dividers, curbs and parked vehicles. Additionally, it supports advanced parking assistance to scan the vehicle’s surroundings for pedestrians and obstacles.
Other safety features include:
- Lane change assist
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind spot detection
- Collision warnings
- Cross traffic alerting
- Autonomous emergency braking
