How Linpowave Is Riding the Wave of Smarter Sensing
Have you noticed how radar technology is suddenly everywhere?
From autonomous cars to eldercare devices,mmWave radar is quietly becoming the backbone of smarter, safer sensing.
We took a look at what’s been trending in radar over the past few days—and how Linpowave is already building for what’s next.
1. ADAS Gets Serious About 77 GHz
The auto industry is buzzing about 77 GHz radar—and for good reason. Recent forecasts suggest the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) mmWave radar market will grow nearly 20% annually over the next 7 years.
Why? Because 77 GHz radar brings serious improvements in long-range accuracy, angle resolution, and clutter rejection.
At Linpowave, ourV100 vehicle-mounted radaris already helping developers bring robust pedestrian detection and obstacle tracking into real-world conditions—even in rain, fog, or darkness.
2. Fusion Is the Future
One of the biggest talking points right now issensor fusion—combining mmWave radar with cameras, LiDAR, and AI models to get more reliable, more human-like perception.
Linpowave is actively exploring multi-modal radar+vision applications. This matters for:
-
Smarter intersections
-
Traffic safety enforcement
-
Autonomous robotics
When cameras fail due to glare, smoke, or night conditions, radar picks up the slack. That’s where our 60 GHz platform shines.
3. Radar Goes Indoors
Not all radar trends are about the road. Indoor applications—from fall detection in eldercare to room occupancy monitoring—are heating up fast.
Linpowave’s mmWave radar modules are already deployed in home monitoring systems that can:
-
Detect falls instantly
-
Monitor breathing and heart rate
-
Respect user privacy—no camera needed
This makes mmWave ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, and smart homes wheresafety and dignitygo hand in hand.

Why Now?
The rise of AI, edge computing, and cost-effective SoC radar chips means mmWave technology is no longer futuristic—it’s becoming a standard.
At Linpowave, we’re building sensors that are compact, power-efficient, and adaptable to almost any environment. Whether you're designing a robot, a smart building, or a Level 2+ vehicle, mmWave radar belongs on your shortlist.
Linpowave mmWave Radar FAQ
Q: Can mmWave radar only detect humans? Is it prone to false triggers?
A:mmWave radar detects motion, not specifically humans. It senses all moving objects within range and relies on algorithms to differentiate between humans and other objects, minimizing false alarms.
Q: Can mmWave radar see through walls?
A:Radar waves can penetrate thin walls to some extent but are limited by wall material and thickness. Reliable through-wall detection is generally not guaranteed and is considered an auxiliary feature.
Q: Is tuning sensitivity difficult? How to reduce false positives?
A:Sensitivity tuning requires care—too high causes false triggers; too low misses detection. Linpowave provides recommended default settings and engineering mode tools to help optimize performance.
Q: Can mmWave radar detect stationary people?
A:Yes. Unlike PIR sensors, mmWave radar can detect micro-movements like breathing and heartbeat, enabling presence detection even when a person is still.
Q: Is mmWave radar reliable for indoor fall detection?
A:Yes. With multi-zone sensing and energy change detection, mmWave radar can accurately identify falls and send timely alerts. Linpowave’s solutions are proven in real-world healthcare environments.
Q: Is mmWave radar safe for humans?
A:Absolutely. The radar operates at very low power, well below safety limits, with no harmful radiation effects. It is safe for continuous use in homes and healthcare facilities.
Q: Does weather affect mmWave radar performance?
A:Rain and fog can impact radar signals slightly, but modern filtering algorithms help maintain stable operation in most weather conditions.
