Why Novelda Impulse Radar?

Novelda's Nanoscale Impulse Radars offers unprecedented sensor performance at up to 512 simultaneous sampling points with full configurability in a 5x5 mm package.

The Nanoscale Impulse Radar from Novelda is a full radar transceiver integrated on a single piece of silicon. When connected the suitable antennas, the chip is capable of simultaneously transmitting ultra short electromagnetic pulses, sample the reflected signal and store it as a sequence of discrete samples. The architecture of the receiver is based on a clever averaging scheme, enabling it to recover signals buried beneath the noise floor. By parallelizing the sampling structure, the receiver is able to capture up to 512 points in one go. The resulting output is a digital reconstruction of the analog signal present at the input of the receiver, sampled at over 30 GS/s.
