Product overview
The ZKRT-RA05K provides height and distance information for low-altitude flight applications, including installation on UAVs, helicopters and small airships. Its radar architecture combines highly integrated MMIC technology with FMCW operation and one transmit antenna plus one receive antenna. The hardware is a compact sensor measuring 113.75 × 68.75 × 14.4 mm and weighing 89 g. These dimensions define the physical space needed for integration, while UART, RS485, RS232 and CAN provide the listed communication interfaces.
Detection extends from 0.3 to 500 m, with distance measurement accuracy specified as 0.02 m. Output refresh is typically 10 Hz and reaches a maximum of 20 Hz; the horizontal and vertical fields of view are ±6° and ±10° at -6 dB. Electrical integration requires 9–24 V, with 12 V typical, and power consumption spans 1.4–1.6 W. Operating limits are -40 to 85 °C and 5%–95% RH. Frequency specifications differ: the parameter table gives 24–24.5 GHz, while the descriptive specification gives 24–24.25 GHz.
