RFbeam
RFbeam Microwave is a leading supplier of planar radar sensors and radio frequency engineering services based in eastern Switzerland. Our product range includes simple, inexpensive Doppler sensors as well as highly integrated imaging radar devices.
The Radar sensor brochureRFdeam develop and manufacture short range microwave sensors and solutions for industrial and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers. RFbeam is also a specialist in antenna design and general micro- wave circuit engineering. Their products are used in motion and industrial sensors, traffic monitoring and analyzer systems, sport measurement equipment and many other applications.
Why use radar
For several years, planar radar technology has enabled the realisation of small, cost effective and robust sensors. Radar is an inherently robust technology that can be used even under harsh environmental condi-tions. Their radar sensors are used for so called short range radar applications covering distances from centimetres to a few hundred metres.

Applications
Drones are becoming increasingly intel-ligent and require reliable information about their surroundings to operate safely. In addition, drones also want to be able to be detected from the ground. Radar sensors can provide reliable data here.
RFbeam offers a wide range of sensors for use in traffic applications. Radar is known for its speed measurement capa- bilities. In addition, Radar can also measure direction, distance and angle of dynamic and static objects in all weather conditions. This makes radar the number 1 choice for many traffic applications.
Security applications can benefit from the many advantages of Radar sensors. They are unaffected by environmental influences such as day, night, fog or smoke etc. and that combined with their anonymity makes them ideal for use in various security applications.
Radar sensors are the next big step for home automation applications. It is possible to detect and track objects in a room with a single sensor. The ability to hide the sensor behind plastic provides great design flexibility. Radar is com-pletely anonymous, making it perfect for sensitive home automation applications.
The robustness against environmental influences makes radar sensors perfectly suited for industrial applications. Radar sensors can generate 3D point clouds for periphery surveillance or precise mea-surements in the millimeter range for tank level applications.
Radar sensors are well suited for measure- ments in sporting activities. They can be hidden behind plastics and are usable in nearly all environmental conditions. Radar sensors can be used to track a wide variety of parameters in sports applica-tions like velocity, distance and angle of objects.
Radar technology has a long tradition in the automotive business. There are special frequency bands reserved only for automotive applications. RFbeam works with leading chip manufacturers to enable future-oriented solutions for your automotive application.
Radar sensors can provide important information about the environment and thus help to limit environmental damage. Being impervious to the weather enables early warnings in environmental applications.
