This is an optimized low-power, high-precision 60 GHz radar in one package solution with integrated
Baseband, RF front-end and Antenna.
The A111 is based on pulsed coherent radar technology (PCR). It has leading-edge patented sensor
technology with pico-second time resolution. The A111 sets a new benchmark as far as power
consumption and distance accuracy are concerned and it comes fully integrated in a small package of
2
29 mm .
The A111 can measure absolute distance with mm accuracy up to a range of 2m with a continuous
sweep update frequency of up to 1500 Hz.
The A111, 60 GHz radar is not compromised by any natural source of interference such as noise, dust,
color, direct or indirect light.
The EVK consists of

1 XC112 connector board with the possibility to connect up to four radar sensor boards.

1 XR112 which is Acconeer's sensor board featuring A111. A 400mm long FFC for connecting
XC112 and XR112 is included with the XR112 as of February 1
this date, a 203.2mm long FFC, Molex 15020-0175 was included with the XR112.
