RFISee, an Israeli automotive technology company, recently announced the launch of a phased array 4D imaging radar chip. The company's all-weather radar has been proven to detect cars within 500 meters and pedestrians within 200 meters, with an angular resolution of greater than 1 degree.
The phased array antenna technology used by RFISee engineers has been used in cutting-edge military systems and air defense systems including the F-35 fighter jet. This time the company strives to reduce the price to that of today’s cars. Sensor average. The world's top automotive OEMs and suppliers are also evaluating the prototype performance of RFISee radar.
RFISee's patented 4D imaging radar uses a high-intensity focused beam based on proprietary phased array radar technology, with dozens of emitters creating a working environment that can quickly scan the field of view. The receiver ensures an improved radar image. Current data shows that this system has better signal-to-noise than traditional radar technology, and has an obstacle detection range six times that of current radars.
RFISee developed this radar technology to prevent many accidents that other existing radar systems cannot handle. The hope is that the radar will detect trucks or other vehicles hundreds of meters away, allowing the driver to take over control or automatically park the vehicle and prevent an accident. The company’s unique radar technology can also handle functions such as detecting multiple pedestrians simultaneously and identifying cyclists on the shoulder, which is also useful in various accident prevention scenarios.
RFISee’s chairman is Nissim Hadas, the former CEO of Israel’s aerospace sector ELTA. RFISee has raised $2.75 million from several institutions, including the Israel Innovation Authority. The company is currently planning to raise Series A financing, which will be used exclusively to complete the development of its radar product line, provide samples to OEMs and suppliers, and establish commercial partnerships in the second half of 2021.
RFISee CEO Moshe Meyassed said: "Our breakthrough all-weather phased array 4D imaging radar will change the rules of the game in the global automotive radar field. Today's automotive radars often provide low resolution and limited Detection range. Our ability to combine long range, high resolution and exceptional accuracy will be key to the high-quality sensor fusion between cameras and radars required by the automotive industry."
He also Adding: “RFISee’s upcoming sensor fusion technology will open up new frontiers in adding an effective AI layer on fused radar and camera data. As a result, both car manufacturers and drivers will benefit from important improvements in safety and accident prevention.” Improve, effectively drive in low visibility and increase vehicle automation."
