Making radar attainable for automotive applications with low-power, 77GHZ mmWave radar sensor

In this session, learn how the new AWRL1432 enables radar to replace incumbent technologies for low-power, cost-sensitive automotive applications like kick-to-open and parking assist.


Specific topics include:


- How the low-power architecture helps radar overcome its traditional power consumption barrier to replace capacitive sensing solutions


- How the improved sensing performance helps enable radar to be a cost-effective replacement for ultrasonic parking systems

Okay, thank you, Kelly. Hello, everyone. Good morning. Thank you for joining this new product update for our new edition to the automotive radar portfolio, the AWRL 1432, which is our -- sorry, is there an audio issue? Okay, I'll go on. The AWRL 1432, which is our low-power 77 gigahertz radar center. My name is Jim. I am a product marketing engineer for the 8-2 business line focused on radar applications for advanced driver assistance. I'm joined by Jim George, the marketing manager for the auto-body and chatty business line. So, for radar applications inside and outside the vehicle. And also with us is production assistant manager for the auto-body and chatty business line. He will be moderating and answering any questions in the chat throughout the presentation. So please feel free to ask any questions you have as we go along. So, for today's presentation, we want to provide a high-level overview of key applications we're targeting with the AWRL 1432 and overview of the device itself. Then we'll take a closer look at these applications. They're typically picked to open sensors for power door lips and parking assist sensors. Today, the application is non-radar-sentient technology and we will go over some of the challenges and limitations faced by current solutions and highlight the advantages of adopting radar and how the low-power radar device uniquely enables this adoption. And then we'll close out by briefly discussing the resources available to start your evaluation and development with the AWRL 1432. So, how does the AWRL 1432 fit into our automotive radar portfolio? Our portfolio consists of 77 gigahertz radar sensors with various levels of digital back and integration. So, from trans-teivers that can be cast-dated together to our single chip solutions that integrates the RF front-end with digital processing, our devices have enabled the market to achieve high-performance sensing for ADAS and in-cabin applications. And the automotive radar market is growing. As radar becomes a key part of the sensing suite inside and outside the vehicle. And TI is growing with and within that market. However, the adoption of radar in near-field sensing and ultra-short range applications has been updated by two key challenges, cost and power consumption. And the applications we are targeting traditionally used established sensing modalities with cheap sensors also require very low power to operate on the car battery while the vehicle is off. The AWRL 1432 was designed to specifically address these challenges and enable these applications with the benefits of radar. The two applications we will discuss today are hand-picked open sensors and parking-estense sensors. But the features of the 1432 is cost and low power architecture and its mod form factor are also promising for other applications like door obstacle detection and even entry-level blind spot detection. Now, looking at the device itself, the AWRL 1432 is an integrated 77-degree hertz radar sensor optimized for low power technology.
