Vayyar Imaging, the global leader in 4D imaging radar, has launched the world's

first multi-range "XRR" chip, a single RFIC with a range of 0-300m, designed

for passenger cars, trucks and motorcycles. Supported by a 48-antenna MIMO

array, the leading-edge platform provides radar imaging with unprecedented

accuracy for numerous safety applications, without the need for external

processors.

Vayyar's XRR chip – AEC-Q100 qualified and ASIL-B compliant - is unmatched in

terms of range, resolution, and performance. With an ultra-wide field of view

and rich 4D point cloud imaging, it delivers unprecedented multifunctionality

on a single-chip platform, supporting dozens of Advanced Driver Assistance

Systems (ADAS), Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) and autonomy features.

This eliminates the need for multiple, costly vehicle sensors and reduces

costs, complexity, hardware, software, power consumption, wiring and

integration efforts.

Affording a range of 0-300m, the multi-range XRR chip differentiates between

static obstacles such as dividers, curbs and parked vehicles, and between

different types of VRUs, moving vehicles and other hazards. In low-speed

environments such as parking lots, the XRR chip's uSRR and SRR sensing supports

advanced parking assistance, scanning the vehicle's surroundings for

pedestrians and obstacles. On the open road, MRR and LRR capabilities

facilitate a variety of ADAS and autonomy applications such as Lane Change

Assist (LCA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD),

Collision Warnings (fCW/rCW), Cross Traffic Alerting (CTA) and Autonomous

Emergency Braking (AEB).

"Vayyar's XRR chip delivers unparalleled multi-range capability, reducing

complexity and costs, so that high-end safety is accessible and affordable for

all vehicle models," said Ian Podkamien, VP and Head of Automotive at Vayyar.

"To achieve this, we integrated 48 transceivers into a single chip, along with

the computing power necessary for optimal performance, while maintaining

cost-efficiency and a compact form factor."

Just two XRR chips earn any vehicle 33 Euro NCAP safety points, while replacing

over ten traditional ADAS sensors. Vayyar's platform supports nine different

Euro NCAP ADAS requirements for 2023, protecting pedestrians, cyclists and

motorcyclists, while maximizing safety ratings.

Compared with alternatives such as cameras, standard radar and LIDAR, Vayyar's

4D imaging radar delivers unprecedented multifunctionality on a single-chip

platform, maximizing affordability, coverage, range, resolution and robustness.

The XRR chip provides real-time 4D detection, identifying and tracking numerous

objects simultaneously, even in extremely challenging conditions such as heavy

traffic, darkness, or fog.

As automakers strive to protect motorists and their passengers, Vayyar's

multi-range XRR chip is redefining ADAS, ARAS and autonomy, making the utmost

safety available to all vehicles.

About Vayyar Imaging (Automotive)

Vayyar's intelligent sensors create holistic safety opportunities for in-cabin

and ADAS, using automotive-grade 4D imaging radar technology. The 'fourth

dimension' refers to the ability to capture movement, time and speed. At the

core of these sensors is a high-performance Radar-on-Chip that supports up to

48 transceivers for exceptional resolution. With an ultra-wide field of view,

Vayyar's 60 GHz and 79 GHz single-chip radar modules cover large areas to

reduce the number of sensors in vehicles. They provide comprehensive detection

in and around the vehicle, while simultaneously tracking multiple targets and

objects. Vayyar technology is multifunctional, affordable and available for

mass production. The radar-based platform is robust in all road conditions,

while protecting user privacy. Vayyar plans to continue developing the next

generation of sensor technology that is miniature, affordable and versatile

enough to enable a safer world.

Editor's notes

Unlike traditional radar solutions based around 2 to 3 transmitting antennas

and 3 to 4 receiving antennas, 4D imaging radar leverages a Multiple Input

Multiple Output 48-antenna array for high-resolution mapping of its

surroundings. The rich point cloud data output, combined with an ultra-wide

azimuth-elevation field of view, delivers detection and tracking with pinpoint

accuracy, making it the ultimate sensor for the road ahead - and behind.
