FUJITSU TEN to Develop Vehicle-Mounted 76-GHz Millimeter Wave Radar: Compact, Low-priced and
Improved Functions
KOBE, Japan, Oct. 19 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --
-
Sample Display at ITS World Congress, Busan 2010 -
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED has developed a vehicle-mounted 76-GHz Millimeter Wave Radar that provides
improved functions in a more compact size and a lower cost.
In addition to the various improvements, FUJITSU TEN aims to start supplying the unit to automobile
manufacturers at the beginning of 2013. This product will also be on display at exhibition of the ITS World
Congress, Busan 2010 (Oct. 25 (Mon.) to 29 (Fri.)).
This unit utilizes sensors to measure the separation distances, angles and relative speeds of vehicle up
ahead. With this newly developed model, a more compact size, lower cost and more advanced functions were
realized in correspondence with the expansion of the market for such products.
The commercialization of this radar allows for advanced safety and convenience systems, which had
previously only been common in luxury cars, to spread more rapidly to a large variety of models such as
compact cars and trucks.
Development Key Points
1. Compact and lower cost
Size: Less than one-half the size of our current model
This is the first time that FUJITSU TEN has adopted an electronic
scanning system for front radar, and at the same time achieved a
simpler structure. The amount of parts used was greatly reduced to
provide a volume ratio half that of our current model. This also
allowed us to achieve a lower cost.
2. Improved Functions
Detection angle range: More than twice our current model
This unit adopts the high-resolution direction detection system,
uniquely developed in conjunction with FUJITSU LABORATORIES LTD. This
technology provides an expanded detection angle range as well as high
horizontal separation capability.
First adoption at FUJITSU TEN of our AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System
Architecture) as the software platform
About Millimeter Wave Radar
The Millimeter Wave Radar uses radio wave transmission to measure the separation distances, angles and
relative speed of surrounding vehicles, making it important as a key device in advanced safety and
convenience systems.
