Millimeter-Wave Radar: The Core Technology Behind Linpowave’s Sensing Solutions
Millimeter-wave radar (mmWave radar) is rapidly becoming one of the most important sensing technologies in modern engineering. From enabling autonomous vehicles to safeguarding elderly care, its precision, adaptability, and environmental resilience make it a foundational element in next-generation smart systems. At Linpowave, we have taken mmWave radar from a specialized tool to a multi-industry platform that powers real-world applications worldwide.
What Is Millimeter-Wave Radar?
Millimeter-wave radar operates in the 30–300 GHz frequency range, with common bands such as 60 GHz and 77 GHz used for industrial and automotive purposes. Unlike optical systems, mmWave radar can penetrate fog, dust, smoke, and even certain solid materials, making it ideal for mission-critical environments.
By measuring the time delay, frequency shift, and phase change of reflected signals, mmWave radar can detect:
-
Distance (range)
-
Relative speed (velocity)
-
Angle of arrival (direction)
-
Micro-motion signatures such as breathing or heartbeat
These capabilities open the door to precision tracking and environmental perception in virtually any condition.
Linpowave’s Approach to mmWave Radar
Our expertise in antenna design, signal processing, and integration allows Linpowave to deliver radar modules that are:
-
Ultra-compact for easy embedding into vehicles, drones, and IoT devices
-
High-resolution with sub-centimeter accuracy
-
Edge-processing enabled, reducing system latency and external CPU load
-
Customizable in range, field of view, and communication interface
We design every product to meet strict industry standards for electromagnetic compatibility, thermal stability, and environmental sealing (IP-rated enclosures).
Cross-Industry Applications of Linpowave mmWave Radar
Automotive & Smart Mobility
From ADAS features like blind spot detection to radar-based collision prevention, our 77GHz radar modules offer reliable performance regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
Industrial Automation
In factories and warehouses, our radar sensors support non-contact detection, predictive maintenance, and worker safety monitoring—resisting dust, oil mist, and vibration.
Healthcare & Vital Sensing
For hospitals and elderly care, our radar modules enable contactless vital sign monitoring, fall detection, and privacy-protected presence sensing.
UAV & Low-Altitude Economy
In drones, Linpowave mmWave radar ensures obstacle avoidance, terrain mapping, and autonomous navigation even in low visibility.
