Together, we will win the battle against the 2019-nCoV. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Calterah has always been with the frontline medical staff, and has taken proactive action in purchasing anti-epidemic materials through multiple channels. Recently, the goggles donated by Calterah have been successfully delivered to the designated hospitals in Wuhan. Dr. Chen Jiashu, the CEO of Calterah, said that we should be neither overconfident nor oversensitive to the epidemic. With our joint efforts, we can definitely defeat the virus. Currently, the epidemic still continues. Since the resumption of work, Calterah has taken various measures to ensure the safety of employees. Employees must have their body temperature measured at the front desk and ensure that their temperature is normal before entering the offices each morning; lunches are all ordered by the company to reduce outdoor activities; masks, disinfectants and sterilizing lamps have been purchased; the offices are disinfected every night; online meetings are recommended whenever possible to avoid gatherings. We do everything we can to fight against the epidemic. Aiming to tide the frontline staff over the difficulty, Calterah, in the meantime, will continue purchasing anti-epidemic materials via various channels and send them to the frontline as promptly as……
With the increasing number of automobiles, a higher demand is put on the vehicles access management system applied at entries and exits. At present, sensors used for managing the access of vehicles and human body are mainly camera sensors, active infrared intrusion detectors, and ground induction coils. Among others, camera sensors are the most widely used, demonstrating stable performance in well-lit environments. However, the performance can be influenced by complicated environments such as night, fog, and haze, making all-weather operation unachievable for camera sensors. That’s why cameras mainly function as triggers in the barrier gate application. An active infrared intrusion detector consists of a pair of transceiver devices configured onto the both sides of the barrier gate, requiring precisely aligned configuration and relatively complicated layout and routing. The major problem lies in that it is easy to be hidden by objects (small animals, branches, etc.,), causing false triggers. Another common sensor is ground induction coil sensor. Substantially, ground induction coils are multiturn coils. They can form a magnetic field and thus sense the access of vehicles according to the principles of electromagnetic induction. When configuring such a kind of sensor, it is inevitable to damage the road surface and bury……
The 21st China International Industry Fair (CIIF) opened on September 17th, 2019 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (Shanghai). With the theme being “Intelligence, Interconnection-Empowering New Development of Industry”, this fair showcased a constellation of innovations in artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and other areas. The Innovation & Sci-Tech Pavilion, in particular, was a great attraction, which was organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (STCSM). Honored to be invited as an exhibitor, Calterah Semiconductor gave great demos of the detection and tracking of the human body in indoor environments employing Calterah 77GHz and 60GHz millimeter wave radar chips to guests present at the fair. Demonstrating superior performance and cutting-edge technology, the products of Calterah met with the approval of CIIF Award Steering Committee and won 2019 CIIF Technology and Innovation Awards at the 21st CIIF. Calterah is awarded 2019 CIIF Technology and Innovation Awards. Calterah shows visitors the application of millimeter wave radar chips in the field of smart home. Since its establishment, Calterah has aimed to become the world’s most outstanding millimeter wave radar chip and solution provider, to provide global users with higher-performance, easier-to-use and more……
The application of millimeter wave (mmWave) radar technology for indoor detection and tracking of the human body has just been emerging in recent years. The underlying principle is that electromagnetic wave signals emitted through radar antenna shall be reflected after being blocked by objects on its emitting path and be received by the radar receiving antenna, so that through a series of processing of the received signals, the distance, velocity, and angle information of the object can be obtained. At present, besides mmWave radar, ultrasonic sensors, passive infrared sensors, active infrared sensors (such as LiDAR and ToF), and optical cameras are also used for indoor detection and tracking of the human body. However, these sensors can be easily affected by external environment conditions (for example, light, temperature, etc.), causing false alarms. By contrast, mmWave radar can operate stably and reliably 24/7 under all-weather conditions, demonstrating superior performance in meeting the requirements of indoor detection and tracking of the human body. That’s why mmWave radar is more and more widely used in security monitoring, smart home, smart elderly care, automatic door control, and other fields. When it comes to personal privacy, in particular, mmWave radar has irreplaceable advantages against others. Calterah……
Millimeter wave radar is known as an important sensor for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving in automotive industry. Compared with other sensors, radar can operate stably and reliably in challenging environments like rain, snow, fog and dust. Distance and velocity are direct measurements of a radar sensor, so it’s easy to estimate the motion status of a detected target for a radar sensor. In ADAS, radar is often working together with camera sensors or other sensors. For this kind of systems, sensor fusion is an efficient way to use all information compared with using information independently. Data synchronization is important to any kind of sensor fusion. Generally, a camera sensor provides results at about 30 frames per second (FPS). In ideal case, the results can be fused by frame, which means the radar sensor should also be able to output data at 30 FPS. Automotive radar technology is growing fast in recent years. A cutting-edge ADAS radar sensor can process thousands of reflected targets and track hundreds of them in a single frame. Even the angular resolution, which is traditionally thought of as a short slab of radar, has been improved greatly by newly developed cascade and……
