Microwave Journal has posted a brief piece on the technology and market for 60 GHz radio links by Hans Johansson, our mm-wave product manager. It can be found here.
The 60 GHz Radio Market and Technology
July 26th, 2011FMCW Radar Application Notes
October 25th, 2011We’re releasing our final set of four application notes for our series of FMCW radar. They can be downloaded below:
Evaluation Board User Guide – Details how to set up our CO1000A evaluation/controller board for use with the RS3400 series of radar front ends.
Competing Technologies – Explains the advantages and disadvantages of competing technologies such as laser ultrasonic, and video sensors
Applications – Covers possible applications for FMCW radars
Dr. Erik Öjefors joins Sivers IMA
October 4th, 2011Sivers IMA is proud to announce it has further strengthened its R&D efforts through the employment of Dr. Erik Öjefors.
Dr. Öjefors received his Ph.D. in microwave technology from Uppsala University, in Uppsala, Sweden in 2006. He completed his M.Sc in engineering physics, also from Uppsala University, in 2000.
In 2007, he joined the Institute of High-Frequency and Quantum Electronics, University of Siegen, Siegen, Germany where his research involved 94-GHz SiGe-HBT circuits and THz CMOS detectors.
From 2008 to 2011, he worked at the Institute for High-frequency and Communication Technology at the University of Wuppertal, in Wuppertal, Germany. His main research contributions were in the field of mmWave and terahertz circuits using SiGe-HBT and CMOS technologies.
Dr. Öjefors was the co-recipient of the 2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) R. W. P. King Award, the 2008 EuMIC Best Paper Award, and the 2010 EuMC Microwave Prize.
Application Note: Controlling the RS3400 series using the 3-wire interface
September 19th, 2011Shows an example of controlling the FMCW using the 3-wire interface; vital to understand when designing your own control system for the RS3400 series. Download here.
FMCW Radar: Licensing and regulations in the 5,10, and 24 GHz bands around the world
August 15th, 2011We’ve posted a new application note regarding licensing and regulations in the S, X, and K bands, specifically in regard to our FMCW radar modules. We get many questions on what is and what isn’t allowed, as far as radar and allowable emissions go; this should provide a good place to start finding out about what will work for your application.
