Vayyar Imaging, the global leader in 4D imaging radar, has launched the world's 
first multi-range "XRR" chip, a single RFIC with a range of 0-300m, designed 
for passenger cars, trucks and motorcycles. Supported by a 48-antenna MIMO 
array, the leading-edge platform provides radar imaging with unprecedented 
accuracy for numerous safety applications, without the need for external 
processors. 

Vayyar's XRR chip – AEC-Q100 qualified and ASIL-B compliant - is unmatched in 
terms of range, resolution, and performance. With an ultra-wide field of view 
and rich 4D point cloud imaging, it delivers unprecedented multifunctionality 
on a single-chip platform, supporting dozens of Advanced Driver Assistance 
Systems (ADAS), Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) and autonomy features. 
This eliminates the need for multiple, costly vehicle sensors and reduces 
costs, complexity, hardware, software, power consumption, wiring and 
integration efforts.

Affording a range of 0-300m, the multi-range XRR chip differentiates between 
static obstacles such as dividers, curbs and parked vehicles, and between 
different types of VRUs, moving vehicles and other hazards. In low-speed 
environments such as parking lots, the XRR chip's uSRR and SRR sensing supports 
advanced parking assistance, scanning the vehicle's surroundings for 
pedestrians and obstacles. On the open road, MRR and LRR capabilities 
facilitate a variety of ADAS and autonomy applications such as Lane Change 
Assist (LCA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), 
Collision Warnings (fCW/rCW), Cross Traffic Alerting (CTA) and Autonomous 
Emergency Braking (AEB). 

"Vayyar's XRR chip delivers unparalleled multi-range capability, reducing 
complexity and costs, so that high-end safety is accessible and affordable for 
all vehicle models," said Ian Podkamien, VP and Head of Automotive at Vayyar. 
"To achieve this, we integrated 48 transceivers into a single chip, along with 
the computing power necessary for optimal performance, while maintaining 
cost-efficiency and a compact form factor."

Just two XRR chips earn any vehicle 33 Euro NCAP safety points, while replacing 
over ten traditional ADAS sensors. Vayyar's platform supports nine different 
Euro NCAP ADAS requirements for 2023, protecting pedestrians, cyclists and 
motorcyclists, while maximizing safety ratings. 

Compared with alternatives such as cameras, standard radar and LIDAR, Vayyar's 
4D imaging radar delivers unprecedented multifunctionality on a single-chip 
platform, maximizing affordability, coverage, range, resolution and robustness. 
The XRR chip provides real-time 4D detection, identifying and tracking numerous 
objects simultaneously, even in extremely challenging conditions such as heavy 
traffic, darkness, or fog. 

As automakers strive to protect motorists and their passengers, Vayyar's 
multi-range XRR chip is redefining ADAS, ARAS and autonomy, making the utmost 
safety available to all vehicles.

About Vayyar Imaging (Automotive)

Vayyar's intelligent sensors create holistic safety opportunities for in-cabin 
and ADAS, using automotive-grade 4D imaging radar technology. The 'fourth 
dimension' refers to the ability to capture movement, time and speed. At the 
core of these sensors is a high-performance Radar-on-Chip that supports up to 
48 transceivers for exceptional resolution. With an ultra-wide field of view, 
Vayyar's 60 GHz and 79 GHz single-chip radar modules cover large areas to 
reduce the number of sensors in vehicles. They provide comprehensive detection 
in and around the vehicle, while simultaneously tracking multiple targets and 
objects. Vayyar technology is multifunctional, affordable and available for 
mass production. The radar-based platform is robust in all road conditions, 
while protecting user privacy. Vayyar plans to continue developing the next 
generation of sensor technology that is miniature, affordable and versatile 
enough to enable a safer world.

Editor's notes

Unlike traditional radar solutions based around 2 to 3 transmitting antennas 
and 3 to 4 receiving antennas, 4D imaging radar leverages a Multiple Input 
Multiple Output 48-antenna array for high-resolution mapping of its 
surroundings. The rich point cloud data output, combined with an ultra-wide 
azimuth-elevation field of view, delivers detection and tracking with pinpoint 
accuracy, making it the ultimate sensor for the road ahead - and behind.
