Using TI mmWave Sensors with an AoP Design for Industrial 3D Sensing

An mmWave sensor requires the capture of both location and accuracy data from its environment. Key data sets include the range of the object from the sensor and the speed of the object. To maximize useful data collection, a 3D sensing system should also be able to detect the height of an object and filter out ground clutter. This maximizes a sensor’s accuracy and measurement performance.

An AoP antenna’s wide FoV configuration provides a 130-degree view in the azimuth and elevation, which provides true 3D sensing whether the sensor is ceiling- or side-mounted. This antenna configuration, along with the small size of TI mmWave AoP sensors, makes radar sensing possible nearly everywhere in building automation, factory automation, smart homes, personal electronics and industrial systems.

Let’s focus on three applications that AoP sensors enable: robotics, occupancy detection, and automated doors and gates.
