• The new sensing solution covers all radar segments from NCAP corners to 4D imaging radars
• Scalable product portfolio approach enables optimal design and software reuse, reduces research and development efforts, and aims to shorten time to market
• The market-leading radar IP is based on extensively proven advanced processing technology

Eindhoven, Dutch, December 7, 2020 (Global News)- NXP Semiconductors, The leader in automotive radar, announced a complete new radar sensor chipset solution that can enclose vehicles in a 360-degree safety cocoon, and has the recognition and classification functions of imaging radar.The solution consists of a new NXP radar processor and a 77GHz transceiver, which can provide automakers with a flexible and scalable configuration that can meet the NCAP requirements for corner and front radar applications. It also provides 4D imaging radar mass production The first commercially feasible route.The 4D imaging radar expands the functions of the radar from measurement range and speed to include direction, angle of arrival and elevation measurement.Together, these solutions are part of an effort to reduce 1.3 million road deaths each year and represent the development of radar as a core part of driver assistance systems.

Radar is the core advanced driver assistance (ADAS) technology, suitable for traditional automakers focusing on level 1-3 autonomous driving, and as a service innovator to develop robotics for level 4 and level 5 automation and the mobility of safe delivery applications .NXP’s new radar sensing solution suite can meet both of these situations, and provide a dedicated optimization method with key scalability and design reusability to help automakers meet their diverse brand and model portfolios demand.This flexibility allows performance to be tailored to the appropriate use case, reducing research and development efforts and speeding time to market.

NXP promotes the continuous development of radar through two new solutions.

New NXP imaging radar solution
Imaging radar is a breakthrough technology that can significantly improve radar performance.It provides multi-mode capabilities and expands the L2+ features available today, such as highway driver and lane change assistance, by providing super-resolution images for accurate environment mapping and scene understanding.This enhanced "understanding" is an important part of achieving fully automated driving in an urban environment, where vehicles and vulnerable road users can cause driving complexity.

NXP’s new dedicated S32R45 radar processor combined with TEF82xx transceivers can provide excellent angular resolution, processing power and effective distance, not only can distinguish small objects in the distance, but also accurately treat vehicles and vulnerable Road users classify and classify cyclists or pedestrians in crowded environments.This imaging function is designed to provide better driving decisions.

NXP's scalable corner and front-end radar solutions

The goal of NXP’s solution is to meet the cost-effective and small-size NCAP corner radar for high-volume automotive production. It also provides long-range front-end radar and advanced multi-mode use cases (such as simultaneous blind spot detection, lane change assistance, and elevation). Sensing) provides scalability.These advanced applications require extended range and significantly enhanced angular resolution to simultaneously detect and clearly separate multiple objects, and have the ability to enclose the car in a 360-degree safety cocoon.NXP’s new S32R294 radar processor combined with NXP’s TEF82xx transceiver provides a scalable solution that can help automakers effectively meet the requirements of NCAP and advanced corner radar and long-range front radar sensors, while allowing for Individual use cases are tailored.

"Radar has evolved from only detecting the speed and distance of other cars to providing high-resolution target and feature detection capabilities of imaging radar to accurately map the car's surrounding environment," he said. Tosten Lehmann , The executive vice president and General Motors, RF processing, NXP."Our new radar sensor solution can help customers meet NCAP requirements to ensure driving safety, and can also solve the forefront of ADAS sensing technology on fully automated driving roads."

As the first company to provide 77GHz RFCMOS radar technology extensively in mass production, and a pioneeringS32 Automotive Processing PlatformDeveloper,NXP alone helps customers optimize the total cost of ownership, with maximum scalability and reuse of radar systems in different fields, thereby optimizing its own research and development efficiency.
