1 Introduction

Millimeter wave is a radar technology that uses short-wavelength electromagnetic waves. Radar transmits electromagnetic wave signals that are reflected by objects in the signals' path. By capturing the reflected signal, a radar system can determine the range, velocity, and angle of the objects. TI’s mmWave radar devices integrate both analog and digital components which include analog components such as transmitter, receiver, clocking, and digital components such as the ADC, MCU, memory, and hardware accelerator. These are different from traditional discrete components and can reduce power consumption and overall system cost. To understand the principle of mmWave radar, please see the white paper The fundamentals of millimeter wave radar sensors.
