Antennas
The Novelda Sinuous Antennas are specifically designed to work with the NVA6000 series radar ICs. The highly directional antennas are optimal for radar and ranging applications. A detachable dielectric lens is included in order to further increase the gain and lower the opening angle, at the cost of a slightly bigger antenna.
