Distance Measurement RaDist FH

Product Overview

RaDist P60 Sensor

The MSO RaDist FH distance sensor is based on 60.5 GHz pulse radar. The radar beam is focussed by a dielectric lens antenna. RaDist FH was developed for UAVs to improve landing approaches or for terrain tracking.

The sensor is encapsulated in a plastic housing and features a 3xJST SM04BGHS-TB connector.

Benefits/Use

Benefits and advantages

  • Distance measurement with millimeter accuracy.
  • Update rate up to 50 Hz depending on distance range.
  • 60.5 GHz (V-band) pulse radar with low output power (EIRP 10 dBm).
  • Beam focus with 10° aperture (3 dB) by means of dielectric lens.
  • Stainless steel M30 (30 mm diameter) casing with plastic dielectric lens antenna.
  • Distance measure­ment from 20 cm up to 200 cm (depending on target).
  • Different application - specific product variants available depending on distance range.
  • Single-target distance measure­ment onto the strongest reflector.
  • Robust function under adverse conditions e.g. dirt, dust, fog.
  • Unsusceptible against varying lighting, machine noise, wind, temperature.
  • Environmental protection IP69K (with connector tightened).
  • Wide DC input range power supply.
