“HJWAVE, Selected for National Project of High-Resolution Radar Antenna”
On the 9th, HJWAVE, a specialized company in the millimeter-wave RF field, announced that it has been exclusively selected for a Small and Medium Business Administration’s national project aimed at expanding the market for technological innovation and development.
The selected project, titled “Development of Broadband, Wide-Angle Antenna for Reduced Performance Variation between Multiple Channels,” focuses on the technology development applied to autonomous driving image radars and high-resolution, high-definition radars for civilian surveillance. This technology aims to improve variations between multiple antenna channels by optimizing and reducing ripple effects, resulting in more than a 60% reduction in channel variations compared to conventional technologies. Additionally, this technology is expected to be a crucial element for high-resolution radar systems, enhancing the vertical and horizontal resolution, speed, and angle resolution of the radar to detect and differentiate small objects. It is anticipated to significantly contribute to the accuracy and reliability enhancement of autonomous driving and surveillance systems.
HJWAVE stated, “We have been highly evaluated for our business feasibility by comprehensively considering our numerous intellectual property rights, ongoing development and production projects related to autonomous driving radars, and collaborations with domestic and international radar manufacturers.” They explained the reasons for their selection in this new national project.
HJWAVE’s CEO, Yoo Tae-Hwan, commented, “The demand for antenna development for high-resolution radars is expected to increase across various fields. Through this government-supported project, we aim to leap forward as a top company in the domestic and international millimeter-wave (30 ~ 300GHz) antenna industry by securing technology and mass production capabilities for high-resolution waveguide antennas.” He further expressed his aspiration, saying, “In the field of waveguide antenna technology, which has high overseas dependency, I want to contribute to improving the trade balance through localization, enhancing the global competitiveness of domestic autonomous driving and civilian radar.”
