For as long as small, hidden radio transmitters have existed, people have wanted a technology to detect them. One of the more effective ways to find hidden electronics is the nonlinear junction ...

There aren’t many Hackaday Prize entries playing around in RF, save for the handful of projects using off the shelf radio modules. That’s a little surprising to us, considering radio is one of the ...

The smaller and lighter electronics get, the more ways they can be used. A team of researchers has come up with a compact radar system the size of a matchbox that could be deployed in drones, guidance ...

Millimetre-wave radar systems operate in the 30–300 GHz band, exploiting short wavelengths to attain high spatial resolution and compact form factors. Recent advances in semiconductor processes, ...

In the previous entries of this blog dedicated to automotive radar, the reason for using radar and the principle of operation of the frequency modulated continuous wave radar were presented. Now, we ...

In April 2026, Aeva and Nikon Metrology announced that Aeva’s Eve high-precision sensor technology is now commercially deployed in Nikon’s new APDIS MV5X Laser Radar system, under a multi-year ...

The sensor uses frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology and supports water-level detection with theoretical ...
