The SparkFun Pulsed Radar Breakout leverages the Acconeer A111 sensor, a 60 GHz Pulsed Coherent Radar (PCR) module that emits short, coherent radar pulses. This technology enables precise measurement of distance, speed, and material properties by analyzing the phase and time-of-flight of reflected signals. The sensor’s integrated antenna and advanced signal processing provide stable, high-resolution data even in challenging environmental conditions.
The breakout board simplifies integration by providing direct access to all SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CS) and includes an onboard 1.8V low-dropout regulator to power the sensor core. A bidirectional logic level shifter ensures safe communication with host systems operating from 1.8V to 5V logic levels. The compact form factor and standard 0.1″ header spacing make it compatible with breadboards, Raspberry Pi HAT footprints, and custom PCBs.
