4D Imaging Radar Sensors

Oculii (Dayton, OH) announced the launch of FALCON and EAGLE, the world’s highest-resolution commercial 4D imaging radar sensors. Oculii’s AI-powered Virtual Aperture Imaging platform dynamically sends out an adaptive, phase-modulated waveform that changes in real time with the environment and then encodes that data over time, increasing the resolution of any radar hardware up to 100X. This improved resolution and sensitivity enables all-weather sub-degree horizontal and elevation spatial resolution up to 350 meters around a full 360° field of view. EAGLE delivers joint 0.5° H × 1° V spatial resolution across a wide 120° H / 30° V instantaneous field of view. FALCON delivers high-resolution performance in a 5cm × 5cm package that is smaller than a business card.

Positive Slope Equalizers

Fairview Microwave Inc. (Irvine, CA), an Infinite Electronics brand, has just released a new line of positive slope equalizers which exhibit a fixed attenuation response that increases linearly over broadband frequencies. These equalizers are ideal in compensating for gain variation and optimizing performance in systems where excessive losses may occur at the low end of the frequency band. Fairview Microwave’s new series of positive slope equalizers are made up of 18 models that cover octave and broadband frequencies from 500 MHz to 40 GHz. These 50-ohm designs are specified with fixed equalizing values that range from 2 to 8 dB, feature low insertion loss levels of 1 dB to 3 dB, and have high CW input power handling up to +30 dBm (1 watt).
