Distance Measurement RaDist FH
Product Overview
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.
