Novelda AS, a fabless semiconductor company specializing in nanoscale wireless low-power technology for impulse radar is exhibiting its new generation CMOS Impulse Radar Sensor at the world's leading trade fair for electronic components, systems and applications, taking place at New Munich Trade Fair Centre, Munich, Germany.
This unique industry event presents the state of the art in innovative electronics - a diverse range of components, pioneering hardware and software solutions and complete systems and applications - on 132,000 m² of exhibition space. It all revolves around the latest hot topics.
“Our low power CMOS transceiver, with its near field operation, ultra high resolution, allows the Novelda technology to be used in diverse applications such as human vital sign monitoring, personal security, environmental monitoring, industrial automation and other novel sensor applications” says Aage Kalsaeg, Novelda’s Chief Marketing Officer
The NVA6000 range of impulse based radar chips provides an exciting and innovative solution to many sensor applications. Novelda Nanoscale Impulse Radar emits electromagnetic (EM) pulses and then measures the backscattered (reflected) energy from objects in the surroundings. As radio waves have penetrating properties, reflections from hidden objects like the heart in the human body or objects behind an obstacle can be detected due to the receivers’ ultra high sensitivity.
The Novelda Impulse Radar is a complete CMOS radar transceiver integrated on a single chip. The high bandwidth of the transmitted pulses offers unique penetration abilities and very high accuracy.
Novelda radar chips can both compliment or replace existing technologies such as video, ultrasound and infrared sensors. Many new applications are now possible due to its speed, resolution, and its ability to “see through” obstacles. Lenses no longer need to be cleaned, thus the cost of ownership can be dramatically reduced compared to technologies requiring free visibility. Since the NVA6000-series chips are single-chip transceivers, they are also suitable for integration into small and mobile devices.
Novelda provides development kits and software for all available chips to help developers save time and cost for prototyping and concept development.
