Acconeer, a specialist for pulsed coherent radar (PCR) and IoT has selected Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) FSW85 signal and spectrum analyzer.
Acconeer will use it to develop A111, its low-power pulsed coherent radar sensor that operates in the 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band and is particularly suited to IoT applications.
The number of IoT applications and devices is rising, as is the use of sensor technology for consumer devices. To address these growing trends, Acconeer, based in Lund, Sweden, specializes in small radar solutions for consumer products.
Thanks to its small footprint, the Acconeer A111 PCR low-power radar sensor is particularly suited to battery powered IoT devices. The A111 can be used for many applications such as gesture control, material recognition, object and presence detection as well as level and speed measurements.
An excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high bandwidth are crucial for these applications. To maximize the SNR, Acconeer's design engineers need to ensure that the shape of the radar pulse is optimized without violating the spectrum regulations for short range devices. The engineers use the state-of-the-art R&S FSW analyzer with the R&S FSW-B8 resolution bandwidth option to visualize the frequency spectrum.
Josefin Strahl, Head of Hardware Integration, Acconeer
With the resolution bandwidth option, the analyzer features very good SNR in the V band frequency range of the radar (57 GHz to 64 GHz), which is particularly useful for our products.
Johan Nilsson, Product Manager for Spectrum & Signal Analyzers, Rohde & Schwarz
We are happy to provide a dynamic, growing company such as Acconeer with our powerful R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer.
