A recent press release said that, “Socionext America Inc., a leading provider of advanced SoC solutions for a wide range of applications, recently introduced a new set of radio-wave ranging sensors providing highly sensitive, low-power sensor technology for a broad range of smart home and IoT devices. :

It continued with, “the new compact, low-cost SC1230 Series includes two products that can detect the location and movement of individuals with ultra-high degrees of sensitivity. The SC1232AR3 measures the presence and the distance of an object, while the SC1233AR3 adds the ability to detect direction. The two sensor options provide total flexibility for customers worldwide. Both are available now in samples, with volume production scheduled for the first quarter of 2020.”

And, “the expertise of Socionext in signal processing and circuit design technologies allows the new SC1230 Series to achieve ultra-low power consumption, ultra-compact size, and high performance, simultaneously. Incorporating basic signal processing functions into the sensor device reduces the number of external components, and makes it easier to use without specialized knowledge in signal processing. With a built-in antenna in a compact package of 9mm x 9mm operating at 0.5 mW, the SC1232 and SC1233 can be installed anywhere using battery power.”

And ended with, “radar sensors such as the SC1230 series can detect location and movement of persons without recording images or sounds. They are useful for developing new services and functions based on information about “human behavior,” while also addressing privacy concerns. ”
