After the pre-A round of financing, MilliSense Technology unveiled its new 4D millimeter wave radar chip.
1min read Millimeter Sensing Technology, a 4D imaging radar chip company, released its new product MVRA188 on February 10. The global highest integration level 8 transmit and 8 receive MMIC chip has passed the tape-out test, with a vehicle detection distance of more than 250 meters and a sampling rate of up to 250Msps, which will significantly increase the information acquisition of 4D imaging radar and empower smart driving cars.Recently, Millimeter Sensing Technology completed a Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of yuan, led by Xinke Venture Capital. The company stated that the funds would be used for larger-scale R&D investment to promote 4D imaging radar to various intelligent application scenarios.Millimeter Sensing Technology founder and CEO Tan Junhua said that MVRA188, as a high sampling rate 8 transmit and 8 receive MMIC, would increase the information volume of millimeter wave radar by one order of magnitude, not only empowering automotive intelligent driving and advanced driving assistance (ADAS) in terms of resolution, ranging accuracy, and multi-target detection, but also reducing the cost of the RF front-end of 4D imaging radar by more than half.For smart driving cars, sensors are their most important "eyes". In the context of limited LiDAR detection capabilities, 4D millimeter wave radar with high angle resolution and low false alarm rate is increasingly attracting attention. The previous Tesla 4.0 disassembly report showed that Tesla equipped a high-resolution millimeter wave radar, with a BOM cost of US$120.Suhong Su, founder and partner of Lake Pine Capital, an investor in Millimeter Sensing Technology, said, "The team of Millimeter Sensing Technology has accumulated years of technical experience in vehicle communication and millimeter wave radar chips, which will help break the performance constraints of existing millimeter wave radar and launch a more suitable millimeter wave radar chip for advanced driving assistance. The team adopted the system architecture of the next-generation 4D millimeter wave radar chip and launched the first 8 transmit and 8 receive MMIC chip in China, with great market potential."
