Gapwaves announces a new collaboration with NXP Semiconductors, the market leader for automotive radar semiconductors. Together the companies will develop 3D waveguide antenna solutions based on NXP's SAF85xx, an industry-first 28nm RFCMOS radar one-chip IC for next generation ADAS and autonomous driving systems, and Gapwaves proprietary waveguide antenna technology. The collaboration aims to enable unprecedented levels of radar detection range and Field of View (FoV) performance.

SAF85xx is a high performance one-chip solution for automotive radar applications with four transmitters and four receivers, available in a package option with integrated Launcher-in-Package (LiP), suitable for direct coupling to Gapwaves waveguide antennas. The combination of this powerful radar one-chip IC together with Gapwaves waveguide antenna significantly reduces coupling losses and thereby enables high-performance radar sensors with extended detection range, improved object separation and better ability to detect and classify small objects.
