Acconeer A111 Pulsed Coherent Radars

Acconeer A111 Pulsed Coherent Radars (PCRs) are based on patented sensor technology with pico-second time resolution and measure absolute distance with mm accuracy up to a range of 2m and with a configurable update rate. These 60GHz radar system modules are fully integrated into a small 29mm2 package and optimized for high precision and ultra-low power. This one-package solution features integrated baseband, RF front-end, and antenna in package (AiP). Acconeer A111 Pulsed Coherent Radars offer easy integration into any portable battery-driven device.
