Recently, Zhongshan Semiconductor Lighting Industry Association issued a project notice on the technical specifications of microwave radar induction lighting on its official website, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. The purpose of this move is to invite colleagues in the industry to discuss and compile relevant technical standards, so that the application and promotion of microwave radar sensing technology in the lighting industry will be more standardized.

The quality of induction lighting microwave radar sensors varies from good to bad

With the development and popularization of intelligent lighting, automatic induction lighting has become a trend . Microwave radar sensor is widely used in various lighting products because of its unique advantages, but the absence of clear technical specifications, the current market on the radar sensor technology, the power supply, interface, size and installation standards cohabitation, product quality varies greatly . In addition , microwave radar sensors are radio products and need to emit electromagnetic waves when they work. The frequency of electromagnetic waves is a valuable radio resource, and the relevant frequency bands need to be licensed by the state . Currently radar sensor lighting market applications of frequency of use are mainly 2.4G ~ 3.9G , 5.8G and 10.525G , which 2.4G ~ 3.9G frequency and the upcoming popular 5G mobile communications frequency high degree of overlap , illegal possession of mobile communications frequencies, future The overall commercial use of 5G mobile phones will definitely seriously affect 5G signals. However, due to the lack of standard supervision, mixed quality, low-cost competition and low cost, there are currently a large number of holdings, so it is necessary to speed up the pace of elimination and banning. 

5.8G and 10.525G belong to the ISM frequency band and are compliant frequency bands that can be used free of charge. Related products only need to obtain the corresponding certificate before they can go on sale. Currently 10.525 is mainly used in the lighting market in Japan and South Korea, while 5.8G is more used in the domestic European and American lighting markets. With the gradual reduction of the overall cost of 5.8G radar sensor sensors in recent years , more and more lighting manufacturers are using 5.8G radar sensor sensors in batches , and 5.8G radar sensors will achieve large-scale applications in the domestic lighting market. The current smart lighting industry needs to clarify relevant technical specifications in time to ensure the quality of microwave radar induction lighting products from the source, and provide the market with truly efficient, energy-saving and green products.

Microwave radar sensing technology application standards obtained project approval

In this context, Airtouch Technology first proposed the recommendation lighting industry shall establish a standard microwave radar sensing application technology as soon as possible, and in May 1st, 2020 made a formal project application, May 1st, 2020 obtain Zhongshan City, semiconductor The lighting industry association approved the project. The rapid approval of the project approval fully demonstrates the urgency of formulating the technical specifications and the great importance of the industry associations.

Airtouch Technology is the global leader in single-chip intelligent radar sensors, focusing on the research and development of high-performance wireless radio frequency technology, air touch technology and related chip products. R&D and sales centers have been established in Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. Products can be widely used in smart lighting, smart home, Internet of Things, smart cities and other fields. Since its establishment, the company has successively obtained investment from well-known institutions such as Zhen Fund, IC Coffee Fund, Ningbo Angel Investment Guidance Fund, Cointreau Capital and Sanxing Capital, and has strong financial strength to support the company's sustainable development. The company adheres to the development concept of " innovation creates value " and the vision of " making everything simpler and connecting everything smarter " , providing cost-effective chips, modules, algorithms, and software complete reference design solutions to give intelligent devices the ability of sensing and touching in space to promote "space intelligence" products into thousands of households.

At present, the first low-power 5.8g band fixed-frequency induction chip has been mass-produced in the industry. In the application of intelligent lighting market, the AT58xx series chip has been mass-produced at KK level, which has achieved good customer response.
