  1. LIDAR And ADAS: Two Great Technologies That Go Great Together 7/11/2023

    Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and the autonomous vehicles (AV) they enable depend on sensors to function safely and efficiently. LIDAR, due to its ability to create a 3D map of the surrounding area that allows for the detection of spatial position, velocity, and surrounding objects, is a crucial technology contributing to the development of ADAS and the growing popularity of EVs.

  2. ADAS – To Trust, Or Not To Trust, That Is The Question 6/21/2023

    ADAS implementations offer many benefits, such as reducing human suffering, lowering costs, and decreasing pollution. Nevertheless, these implementations also present potential challenges because the act of driving a regular vehicle is gradually shifting toward overseeing a partially automated one.

  3. A Look At The Future Of 4D Imaging Radar In Autonomous Driving 6/13/2023

    4D imaging radar, used in vehicles to detect, track, and analyze the surrounding environment in real time, provides accurate and detailed information about objects in 3D space including their positions, velocities, trajectories, and time dimensions. Its primary function is to detect and track objects around the vehicle, such as vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and obstacles. By continuously updating the position, velocity, and trajectory of these objects, the radar system helps drivers avoid collisions and enables advanced driver assistance features (ADAS) like adaptive cruise control.

  4. Help Wanted: A Look At The Semiconductor Industry’s Job Market 5/31/2023

    The semiconductor industry is growing, and expectations are hundreds of thousands of workers will be needed. Where will they come from?

  5. Frankenstein, Prometheus, And What They Have To Do With 5G, 6G, And The IoT 5/24/2023

    Come for Frankenstein talk, stay for some fun stories about 5G, 6G, and the IoT. Also see if you can catch the Kermit the Frog, Charlie Sheen, and John Mayer references.

  6. RF’s Biggest Event Sailing Into San Diego 5/23/2023

    IMS 2023 returns to San Diego and promises to provide the opportunity for industry professionals to gather, exchange ideas, and assess where the industry is and where it’s going.

  7. The Future Of Connected Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, And Autonomous Driving 5/12/2023

    Connected and autonomous vehicles have the potential to decrease car accidents by enabling wireless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and the personal devices of drivers. Their future is bright, but just how much so?

  8. IMS2023: The Coolest Ideas Under The Sun 5/3/2023

    Guys! We’re getting so close to IMS2023 I can almost smell the tacos, carne asada fries, and beer! This year’s conference and exhibition is taking place in San Diego from June 11 to 16 and will feature more than 450 exhibitors from around the world.

  9. How mmWaves Are Helping Make Roads Safer: The Latest In Occupant Detection 4/4/2023

    A Toronto startup is helping keep the roads safe by measuring drivers’ vital signs to determine if there’s any fatigue or possible medical problems. It’s also making sure that toddlers aren’t accidentally left in the car. The secret? Millimeter waves.

  10. X-Ray Vision: No Longer Comic Book Hokum 3/30/2023

    Bringing a new sensing modality to AR systems through networked RF sensing, MIT researchers have developed a headset that gives users the ability to perceive what used to be invisible to the human eye.
