IMST presents Long Range solutions, radar and antennas at electronica 2014 | Business Wire

The new 24 GHz radar product line will be presented in conjunction with the SENTIRE platform, an intelligent multirotor flight system. The lightweight and compact micro radar module has a multi-channel receiver to detect the target angle in addition to the conventional measurement capabilities "distance" and "speed". "The exceptionally high sensitivity enables the detection of targets at distances of up to several hundred meters ", explains Siegfried Schulze, responsible for the business segment radar and RPAS / UAV at IMST. "Sense & Avoid, Anti-Collision-Protection or Distance-Control to target objects can be realized with the radar system. This will create a new application area for wireless sensor systems and in particular for the LoRaTM technology. The data of several "smart flying sensors" can be transmitted with the iM880A-L over a long range to ground stations."

In addition to the LoRa and radar solutions IMST will present new innovative antennas for RFID applications and high gain antennas for data transmissions from RPAS / UAV to ground.

At electronica 2014 in Munich on November 11th to 14th IMST German expert for wireless solutions presents the following innovations :: AD HOC NEWS

The newest member of the radio module family WiMOD – is a compact and cost–effective USB adapter based on the Long Range Radio module iM880A-L using Semtech’s LoRaTM modulation technology. The iM880A-L is a compact and low-cost Long Range Radio module designed for applications requiring long ranges and interference immunity like industrial control, security, building automation, smart metering, sensor networks, smart cities, IoT- and M2M-applications. It achieves a link budget of up to 156 dB and therefore enables ranges of more than 15,000 m in a rural environment. “LoRaTM solves the traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption”, explains Heinz

Radar technology has become more and more important for the civil market. The widespread use of automotive radar modules, for example, is a testimony to this. There are numerous applications where radar is an interesting solution. The most prominent feature of radar is robustness against weather and light conditions. Distance is measured directly without the difficulties associated with optical systems. By adding multi-channel capabilities, it is possible to detect the angle of a target. Modern radar thus enables the user to obtain a real-time 2D scan of the vicinity.
