Automotive solutions innovator indie Semiconductor launches the world’s first commercially available fully integrated 240 GHz Radar front end silicon transceiver. The device builds on the success of Independent’s previously released 120 GHz solutions and expands the company’s portfolio of short-range, high-precision and high-resolution terahertz frequency radar solutions.
Complementing the widespread deployment of 76 GHz to 81 GHz radars in long-range automotive sensing, recent safety initiatives such as the European New Car Assessment Program are driving the use of 120 GHz radars for in-vehicle drivers and occupants due to their higher resolution monitor. The higher frequency and higher accuracy of 240 GHz radar can be used in emerging new vehicle dynamics and monitoring applications, including the evaluation and control of air spring-based suspension settings, real-time road quality and hazard assessment to dynamically adjust ride quality, and even Carry out detailed monitoring of gas tank liquid level.

In addition to growing automotive market opportunities, the resolution and bandwidth advantages of 240 GHz radar are suitable for industrial sensing applications including material thickness measurement and analysis, end-of-line product quality, tank level monitoring now through recent EU regulations acceleration, surface inspection and security scanners. Indie Semiconductor’s 240 GHz solution can easily address these industrial terahertz frequency applications, which Mordor Intelligence predicts will be an electronics business opportunity worth $1.8 billion by 2028.
“The introduction of our 240 GHz transceiver solution marks a major leap forward in radar technology,” said Dr. Peter Gulden, senior vice president of Radar Systems and Software at Independent Semiconductor. “We are proud to offer a solution that not only enhances safety inside the vehicle but also revolutionizes industrial monitoring applications. Our latest high-frequency radar is a game-changer in terms of resolution, integration and system cost.”
