Oxford RF and 4D Products are crafting the next generation of solid-state Radar sensors. These are set to deliver advantages in cost, performance, reliability, and power efficiency. This collaboration aims to enable autonomous operation in all weather and visibility conditions.
Oxford RF, part of the ESA Business Incubation Centre United Kingdom (ESA BIC UK), is known for its sensors. These have a 360-degree field of view, enhancing the driving experience. The team has joined forces with 4D Products to design a protective enclosure for their latest Radar sensor.
The enclosure aims to safeguard the technology from the elements and conceal the connectors, giving a sleeker appearance. Oxford RF chose 4D Products for its reputation in product design and development. The agency designed and prototyped the Radar sensor’s enclosure, delivering the first batch of 10 units to Oxford RF.
The design was created to meet specific cost, operational, and aesthetic requirements, ensuring the Radar sensor is efficient and commercially viable. Kashif Siddiq, CEO of Oxford RF, said: "Our Radar sensor marks the beginning of a revolutionary next generation of high performing autonomous sensors for a whole range of vehicles and machinery. "We've been incredibly impressed by 4D Products’ deep knowledge and understanding that allowed them to accurately capture our requirements.
" The Radar sensor will be released to the market later this year, available to a select number of customers. It marks a significant leap forward in sensor technology. James Bell, CEO of 4D Products, said: "With its sensor technology at the very cutting edge, Oxford RF has the opportunity to make a real splash in the sector.
"It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of such a breakthrough." John Leake, business growth director at Sci-Tech Daresbury, said: "This pioneering collaboration between 4D Products and Oxford RF demonstrates the impressive results that can be achieved through the blending of knowledge, expertise, and innovation. "It’s a delight to see on-campus collaboration forge such progressive technology, taking the next step in sensor development.
