Millimeter Wave Sensors "Milweb™"

This is a high-accuracy millimeter-wave radar sensor embedded with SMK's original algorithm. The introduction of millimeter-wave radars is deemed to have a high hurdle as it requires sophisticated technologies for design and manufacturing. However, SMK offers proposals as a set with software. This allows flexible customization according to the use case and leads to smooth introduction. When embedding it into the devices of our customers, we also support customization according to their needs.

Operating Principle

A millimeter-wave sensor transmits electromagnetic waves of several tens of GHz and receives electromagnetic waves that return after being reflected off the target object. This signal is analyzed using SMK's original algorithm to calculate distance, speed, and angle, allowing the object's positional information, breathing rate, body motion data, and other such information to be obtained with high accuracy.

Three Algorithms

The original sensing algorithm developed by SMK analyzes data obtained from the millimeter-wave sensor to achieve a wide range of detection, from minute vibrations to vital data and people's movements. In the Milweb™ series, we offer millimeter-wave sensors in three frequency bands optimized for the application.

Milweb™ Animal
This is an algorithm for sensing vital signs using the 24 GHz band. It is best suited for measuring breathing and movements within a range of 1 m. Besides animals, it can also be used for non-contact measurement of people's vital data.
Milweb™ Assistant
This is an algorithm that detects room occupancy using the 60 GHz band. Analyzing the breathing and heart rates of subjects within a range of 10 m, it is best suited for understanding the positions of people and how crowded a place is. It is mainly for detecting the occupancy of facilities.
Milweb™ Action
This is an algorithm for detecting moving objects using the 79 GHz band. It is best suited for detecting approaching vehicles and obstacles within a range of 100 m in outdoor environments. It can be used for bicycles and micromobility.

Milweb™ Evaluation Kit MAK (Milweb™ Application Kit)

We sell the Milweb™ Application Kit (MAK) for trial. It is an evaluation kit that comes with a millimeter-wave sensor and PC application as a set. Various settings can be easily changed using the application. The kit allows non-contact detection performance to be tried out easily. Please feel free to inquire about this kit.
