Product overview
The Nanoradar NRA24 measures distance and altitude for safety ranging, collision avoidance and moving-target detection. Its lightweight design supports altitude measurement in crop-protection and express-delivery aircraft, including work over grassland and water surfaces. FMCW modulation provides a detection range of 0.5~200m with ±0.1m ranging accuracy and a 42Hz update rate. The radar beam spans 28° in azimuth and 18° in elevation, while CAN/UART interfaces support integration with a host computer or microcontroller.
Built around an integrated MMIC design, the NRA24 uses a planar microstrip array antenna with one transmitter and one receiver to reduce interference from ground clutter and targets outside the main beam. The sensor measures 130 × 70 × 14.5mm, weighs 95g and carries an IP66 protection rating. It operates on 5~16V DC, with operating and storage temperatures both spanning -40~+85°C. Customized versions support open-source flight controllers, with plug-and-play integration for APM and PX4.
