NOVELIC is the world’s premier provider of mmWave radar sensors, perception solutions, and end-to end embedded systems.

NoraSens stands for NOVELIC Radar Sensors, our proprietary mmWave radar technology, designed to match specific application scenarios in a number of industries.

We offer custom-made radar solutions and turnkey radar platforms that leverage NOVELIC IP for all industries.

mmWave radar sensors are used for contactless detection of:

  • Distance
  • Movement
  • Speed
  • Angle
  • Micro-vibrations

Radar vs. other sensor systems

A single challenge can be approached using different sensor technologies.

We believe that mmWave radar sensor technology is the optimal solution for the majority of real-life use cases in various industries. This is how radar system performance compares to other types of systems:

Custom Radar Development

Radar Sensor for Jackknife Warning and Coupling Guidance For Trucks

Project

VBG Coupling was looking to build an innovative product – VBG Driver Assist – that would help truck drivers couple trailers and reduce the risk of damage or injury. The company needed a technology that would provide reliable and accurate sensing around the backside of the truck and help the driver navigate the vehicle with ease and precision.

SOLUTION

Our team designed and developed a custom 79 GHz radar sensor system, making use of passive corner reflectors to calculate the position of the coupling system, and sending the edge-processed data via the CAN bus to the truck environment. Driver Assist can then provide an auditory warning to the driver.

Since radar waves pass through non-conductive materials, the sensors can be completely covered in mud or dirt and work with 100% reliability. Radar sensors are not influenced by light, so they will work in pitch dark or sun glare. The radar casing has an IP69K rating, meaning the sensor is dustproof, resistant to high temperatures, and can withstand high-pressure washdown.
