The new Hydrogen SoC from ARIA Sensing introduces advanced waveforms supporting both single-pulse and pulse-compression capabilities, delivering unparalleled precision in radar sensing applications. Equipped with two integrated RISC-V microprocessors, the chip ensures robust performance and flexibility for a variety of use cases.
Supporting 3D beamforming capability, Hydrogen is capable of driving up to 4 antennas at transmission and 4 antennas for receiving, allowing flexible and scalable array configurations for optimized 3D imaging and radar detection. The SoC unique architecture ensures extremely precise synchronization among all channels, making advanced 3D beamforming possible with the unparalleled capability of focusing the pulses over a desired point in space, unlike inefficient 60GHz devices.
With beamforming and its ultra-high resolution, Hydrogen provides precise 3D localization of a target with depth perception, ideal for gesture recognition, enabling ceiling-mounted presence sensors, and vehicle in-cabin detection with unparalleled angular and downrange resolution. In security and safety applications, the SoC is ideal for applications in elderly care, and fall-detection, and contactless vital-signs (breathing & heart rate) detection.
A key feature of Hydrogen is its programmable bandwidth (up to 1.8GHz), enhancing adaptability across different sensing applications and environments. ARIA Sensing offers four modular solutions tailored for both 2D and 3D radar applications, ensuring versatility and seamless integration into diverse markets, including automotive, industrial automation, and smart home technologies.
"Hydrogen represents a paradigm shift in radar technology, combining cutting-edge UWB advancements with compact SoC design. We are excited to see how this innovation will redefine radar sensing applications," says Alessio Cacciatori, Founder and CEO at ARIA Sensing.
