Overview

The V-MD3_M12-EVAL-RFB-00A is a 60GHz radar evaluation kit featuring an integrated ARM Cortex R4F processor for real-time digital signal processing. It provides a complete target list output over 100BASE-T Ethernet, capable of detecting the speed, direction, distance, and angle of multiple objects at ranges up to 80 meters. The system is housed in a rugged IP65-rated enclosure with M12 connectors, making it suitable for immediate deployment in harsh environments.

Why Choose This Part

The kit offers a wide supply voltage range from 8V to 32V and provides processed object lists rather than raw radar data, significantly reducing host-side processing requirements. Its IP65 housing and M12 connectivity ensure high reliability in outdoor or industrial settings where dust and water ingress are concerns.

Applications

Traffic Monitoring
Multi-lane vehicle tracking and speed measurement for intelligent transportation systems.
Industrial Automation
Area monitoring and collision avoidance for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and heavy machinery.
Security and Perimeter Surveillance
Long-range human and vehicle detection with tracking capabilities in all weather conditions.
Obstacle Detection
Advanced sensing for autonomous mobile robots and drones requiring distance and angle data.
