Sivers Semiconductors AB, a global leader in photonics and wireless technologies, announced today a significant purchase order from aiRadar Inc., a pioneer in next-generation radar imaging systems. The order covers the development of a cutting-edge 28GHz antenna module, leveraging Sivers’ high-performance TRX BF02 beamforming transceiver chip.
“This partnership with aiRadar is a clear example of how our technology can be adapted beyond telecom to empower cutting-edge radar applications,” said Harish Krishnaswamy, Managing Director – Wireless Business Unit, Sivers Semiconductors. “The requirements for performance, form factor and reliability are incredibly demanding, especially in aerospace and defense. By combining our beamforming technology with aiRadar’s advanced signal processing, we’re helping push the boundaries of what’s possible in modern radar systems.”
The new antenna module will power aiRadar’s latest radar systems targeting both commercial and defense markets, with an emphasis on defense applications such as high-performance drone platforms. The collaboration combines Sivers’ expertise in advanced RFIC design with aiRadar’s cutting-edge radar technology to deliver a compact, high-resolution radar solution with next-generation capabilities.
“We’re excited to expand our offering of sophisticated multimode radars into the Ka frequency band using the TRX BF02 module,” says Michael Grigorian, COO, aiRadar Inc.
“Sivers’ technology will enable new product ranges for our DroneSAR surveillance system and our drone detection capability. The success of our partnership demonstrates the synergy between aiRadar’s expertise in radar systems and Sivers’ excellence in RF design and production.”
The TRX BF02 is a 28GHz Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) designed to support the full frequency range from 24.0 GHz to 29.5 GHz, making it an ideal fit for licensed 5G and advanced radar systems. It supports data rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features a 16TX+16RX channel beamforming transceiver. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the solution is engineered for scalable, high-performance radar deployments.
