World-class localisation with digital imaging radar for autonomous platforms TDK Corporation has announced the partnership of Trusted Positioning Inc (TPI), a TDK Group Company, and Uhnder. The companies have partnered to develop a localisation reference design with world-class accuracy and performance with Uhnder’s software-defined digital radar sensor and TPI’s AUTO positioning software. The combined solution offers lane-level positioning accuracy in urban areas where GNSS fails, and under all weather and lighting conditions where cameras and lidars face environmental challenges. Uhnder’s innovative, fully digital 4D software-defined imaging radar technology uses DCM to replace traditional analog frequency modulation. This breakthrough patent-pending architecture allows unrivalled angular resolution and interference rejection. The company’s use of DCM also provides HCR to resolve juxtaposed objects previously undetectable by conventional radar sensors, particularly in long distances.
