Innovative Acconeer 3D Sensor technology available from Digi-Key
Acconeer AB's A1 SRD radar sensors are available for immediate shipment worldwide through Digi-Key Electronics thanks to a new distribution agreement.
The A1 radar sensor is based on patented technology enabling millimetre accuracy with very low power consumption. The sensor is based on PCR (Pulsed Coherent Radar) technology, that gives several strong advantages including very high range resolution while only consuming micro watts of power, and offers many possibilities for integration into other devices. Attributes include accuracy, low current consumption, motion and gestures, material identification, and easy integration.
Lars Lindell, CEO at Acconeer says: "We are very happy to launch our innovative radar sensor with Digi-Key. With their global distribution and customer base, Digi-Key can help Acconeer reach out to customers worldwide."
Acconeer's ground-breaking 3D sensor technology creates endless possibilities in a wide range of application for multiple industries, including: Robots & Drones, Mobile & Wearables, IoT, Power Tools & Industrial, Healthcare & Fitness, and Automotive.
Key characteristics:
- mm Accuracy - distance mm accuracy for one or multiple objects
- Movement & Speed measurement - continuous measurements up to 1500Hz
- Material identification - distinguish between materials with different dielectric constant
- Microwatt - enables integration into any battery-driven device
- Optimised integration - small one-chip design with embedded RF and antenna that requires no need for aperture
- Robustness - not compromised by any natural source of interference such as noise, dust, colour, direct or indirect light
David Stein, VP, Global Semiconductors at Digi-Key says: "We're excited to partner with Acconeer and leverage the unique characteristics of their radar sensor to enable material identification and motion detection for our customers designing advanced sensing applications. The need for power efficient, advanced, high-precision 3D sensors in a small form factor is growing, and we believe our new partnership with Acconeer will assist in driving global technology trends into the future."
