While it is standard practice to house multiple antennas inside the LSI package, radio interference between nearby antennas can hamper data transmission, reducing data throughput and degrading performance. As a result, RF circuit design needs to include measures for reducing interference. In its efforts to reduce package size, Socionext is applying its advanced and highly specialized engineering expertise to mitigate the issues of interference between nearby antennas and reflection noise from the package resin.

Incorporating multiple antennas in a single chip can be beneficial for obtaining better azimuth resolution in a small form factor. This can also help to free customers from complicated antenna design challenges.

Meanwhile, the selection of a CMOS process allows for the on-chip implementation of complex signal processing functions and the integration of sophisticated algorithms for detecting signal angle of arrival, distance to target, and movement of target. This minimizes the software development required for downstream signal processing by an MCU and reduces MCU performance requirements. These features of Socionext radio-wave ranging sensors reduce system power consumption, cut material costs significantly, and shorten the development time required to bring customer products to market.

• As each product has a built-in distance measurement circuit, you can use it without any knowledge of signal processing.
• A wide range of sensing types are available, including intermittent sensing and burst sensing.
• We offer a lineup of products with multiple reception channels that enable detection of positional information.
