2.  Radars

  2.1.  Imaging Radar System [RCS11]   2.2.  Prototype Automobile Radars [RDC01]
 


This is an upgrade version of RCS05. In addition to higher resolution imaging, camera image and visualized image by the radar can be superimposed for analysis.

 

KEYCOM develops and manufactures prototype automobile radars, selectable either 76GHz or 24GHz, FMCW or pulse radar.
Customization of data output is optionally available.
Because it is a specified low power device, no radiotelephone license or certification is necessary.


  2.3.  76-81GHz Highly accurate FMCW radar for calibration [RDC02]   2.4.  Area Monitoring Radar Series [RDE]
 

 

 

This FMCW radar is a Standard radar for R&D, not only of 76.5GHz, 1GHz band but also with 79GHz, 4GHz band.

It can measure distance, relative velocity, signal level accurately.

  • With this radar and the waveform analysis system, you can calibrate automotive radar
  • 500MHz / 1GHz / 2GHz / 4GHz bands switchable
  • Received IQ signal raw data can be recorded
  • 59MHz sampling and data recording in a high density

 

KEYCOM develops and manufactures different area monitoring radars. You can select 60GHz or 24 GHz, and FMCW or pulse radar as the technology to be used.
We provide custom data output tailored to your system specification.

3. Synthetic aperture radar

  3.1.  Synthetic Aperture Radar (Natural Disaster Prognostication, Long Range Displacement Observation System, FM-CW) [RAD01]   3.2.  Synthetic Aperture Imaging Radar [RCS20]
 

KEYCOM’s synthetic aperture radar RAD01 watches for signs of disasters such as a fracture of a bank, a rock fall, collapse of a tunnel, a landslide, and so on, for 24 hours a day.
It detects a displacement as small as 0.1mm and alarms.

 
The synthetic aperture method enables the acquisition of ultra-high definition images.

The sensitivity also is excellent, since it is FMCW type.

4.  FMCW radar

  4.1.  Synthetic Aperture Radar (Natural Disaster Prognostication, Long Range Displacement Observation System, FM-CW) [RAD01]   4.2.  FMCW Radar Transmitter / Receiver [PBR71]
 

KEYCOM’s synthetic aperture radar RAD01 watches for signs of disasters such as a fracture of a bank, a rock fall, collapse of a tunnel, a landslide, and so on, for 24 hours a day.
It detects a displacement as small as 0.1mm and alarms.

 

KEYCOM develops and manufactures various radars, radar systems and altimeters that will meet your specific requests.


  4.3.  FMCW Meteorological Radar Aerial [PBR72]   4.4.  94GHz FMCW-Type Weather Radar [RAD76]
 

1.The reflective mirror attached to the flat frame ensures that the directionality of reception and transmission coincide.
2.The transmission and reception antennas are separated, ensuring that the received and the transmitted signals are isolated from each other.
3.Snow does not lie on the radome because it is slanted.
4.The radome can be easily removed.
