Rutronik Adapter Board – RAB3 for Radar

Reliable solutions for distance measurement as well as people and surface detection play a key role in IoT applications. For such applications, there is a strong demand for smaller and lower power radars. With the RAB3, the experts from Rutronik System Solutions are expanding their board family with an Adapter Board to test the use of a fully integrated module as well as the possibility of a discrete development. Your advantages at a glance: Benefit from a shorter pre-development phase, reduced costs, and an overall shorter time-to-market. Another advantage is that all Adapter Boards and therefore also the RAB3 can be easily combined with another via an Arduino interface. Take advantage of this unique development environment from Rutronik System Solutions to realize your application.

IoT control applications have become a trend and with it the demand for sensing devices to collect information. There are also other technologies such as cameras and infrared being used for such applications, but Radar has some real advantages here. Applications that rely on cameras to detect people and their movements raise privacy concerns because they record images. Radar instead detects motion, but does not use the actual images, thus providing a real privacy benefit. Radar has another advantage over camera technology because it also works in the dark to detect movement. Radar sensing is highly robust and stable with respect to external conditions such as temperature changes and ambient light. This is an advantage of Radar compared to infrared sensors.
