Resources
Your entry into the development of 2D radar applications. The EvalKit r2 for MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) provides a sophisticated and modular development platform for your 2D positioning, range and velocity measurement applications. It provides a complete MIMO design environment with exchangeable radar front-end boards. Based on an embedded system, you get a plug-and-play MIMO radar with many features for real-world testing. The software package for your PC is included – an easy and cost-effective way to evaluate your ideas and reduce development time.
Hardware
The SiRad MIMO r2 Evaluation Kit is a modular system. It consists of a baseband board and interchangeable radar front-end boards (RFE boards). The RFE boards contain an indie MIMO chip, its antennas, and a microcontroller to control the front-end. RFE boards with different frequency and channel configurations are planned along with the release of SR MIMO chip products.
The RFE board digitizes and processes the data from the radar chip. It also provides USB and Ethernet connectors for attaching the MIMO evaluation boards to your PC. Power is supplied via USB.
The current standard evaluation system contains a 24 GHz MIMO front-end. Further front-ends will be available in the future.

Software
The software provides the user with several ways to visualize and adjust the radar data using a standalone GUI. You can easily change system parameters and immediately see the results in the GUI. Another option is to make use of the comprehensive description of the communication protocol. This enables you to program your own DSP.
You may implement our free API used in the EvalKit in your products to output raw data using the same protocol as the EvalKit. You can simply program your own MIMO DSP or use our ready available software modules – please ask for the license terms.
