Radar Technology for IoT Applications (Room 204)

17 Oct 18
3:05 PM - 3:35 PM

Tracks: Radar & Antenna

Radar technology has been traditionally used mainly in military or remote sensing applications. Due to the proliferation of new consumer and commercial applications such as IoT, smart city and smart home applications, the demand on radar technology continues to grow as it can enhance the product features and increase the product’s competitiveness. Such features may include occupancy detection, gesture detection and motion & speed detection, etc for smart home applications. This technical session introduces different radar technologies i.e. Pulse, FMCW and MIMO radars for consumer and IoT applications to the participants. The pros and cons of using different radar technologies and operating frequencies will also be addressed. System and antenna design strategies are also presented so that the participants can incorporate and adopt the right radar technology into their products.
