SC1240AR3 60GHz RADAR Sensor

June 2, 2022

Industry's first broadband 60GHz radio-frequency range-finding sensor with built-in range-finding and 3D angle-calculating signal processing circuit

1240AR3 60GHz RF Sensor
SC1240AR3 60GHz RF Sensor

Overview

Introducing the highly integrated Socionext "SC1240 Series" 60GHz RF sensor with a built-in signal processing circuit for detecting the position and movement of a person with maximum accuracy.  The series uses 3D position information without the need for high frequency or advanced signal processing technology.

Features

The Socionext SC1240 series product is equipped with high-precision wide band FMCW chirp sensing and built-in signal processing circuits that utilize the 60GHz ISM frequencies.

  • Suited for 1D to 3D sensing
    - 1 Tx and 2 x 2 Rx antennas detect azimuth / elevation angle, velocity and distance
    - Wide bandwidth (6.8GHz max.) and high-accuracy linear chirp FMCW radar
    - Sensing area example: up to 0.5m*1 with < 1cm*2 resolution (in case of palm gesture)
    - Sensing area example: up to 15m*1 with < 12.4cm*2 resolution (in case of human detection)
  • Highly integrated device enabling faster hardware development
    - Integrated signal processing unit (Distance/Angle/Presence detection), antennas, radio, ADC, FIFO and SPI interface, with self-boot function
    - Small form factor PCB, less BOM and easy to assemble
    - Small package (4.0mm x 7.0mm, BGA package)
  • Low power consumption
    - 4-Level operation states (Shutdown, Deep Sleep, Light Sleep, Sensing)
    - Intelligent power control sequencer managing flexible duty cycle operation
* 1: Depending on sensor configuration and environmental conditions, the forward direction
* 2: To be changed according to further study
