mmWave Radar FAQ
Find quick answers about millimeter-wave radar technology, application scenarios, sensor selection, and integration support from Linpowave.
What is mmWave radar?
mmWave radar is a sensing technology that uses millimeter-wave radio signals to detect distance, speed, angle, and movement. It works reliably in many lighting and weather conditions, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, UAV, traffic, liquid level, and healthcare applications.
What are the advantages of mmWave radar compared with cameras or ultrasonic sensors?
mmWave radar can measure distance and velocity directly, supports non-contact sensing, and is less affected by darkness, glare, fog, dust, or rain. It also protects privacy better than camera-based systems because it does not rely on visual images.
Which applications can use Linpowave mmWave radar?
Linpowave mmWave radar can be applied to UAV obstacle avoidance and altitude holding, vehicle perception, traffic monitoring, liquid level measurement, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, and smart safety systems.
Can mmWave radar detect both stationary and moving targets?
Yes. Depending on the radar model and algorithm configuration, mmWave radar can detect moving targets, stationary objects, distance changes, speed, angle, and micro-motion features such as breathing or small body movement.
How do I choose the right mmWave radar module?
Selection depends on detection range, field of view, resolution, mounting environment, output interface, power consumption, and application scenario. Our team can recommend the proper U, V, T, H, or I series radar based on your project requirements.
Does Linpowave provide integration support?
Yes. Linpowave provides hardware guidance, interface documentation, application recommendations, and technical support to help customers integrate mmWave radar into products and systems efficiently.
