Description

The NRA24 module from NanoRadar utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology in the 24.00-24.20 GHz band to provide highly accurate altitude and distance measurements. This principle allows for precise determination of range to ground or objects, even in challenging environments like grasslands, by analyzing the frequency shift between transmitted and reflected signals.

Engineered for stability and reliability, the module outputs processed distance data via a standard UART serial protocol, accessible through its onboard Micro USB connector. Its robust design and wide input voltage tolerance make it suitable for integration into demanding mobile and aerial platforms where consistent performance is critical.

Key Features

  • 24GHz FMCW Radar Technology for precise, continuous distance measurement
  • High 2cm accuracy and 50Hz update rate for real-time altitude feedback
  • Micro USB port provides direct access to UART TTL communication interface
  • Wide 5-20V DC input range supports various power systems from USB to battery packs
  • Compact and lightweight aluminum housing for easy mounting on drones and robots
  • Effective in varied terrains including grasslands and non-paved surfaces
  • Low power consumption design optimized for battery-operated applications
  • Stable performance across a wide operational temperature range

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication interface for the NRA24 radar module?

The NRA24 provides a standard UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) serial interface for data output. This interface is accessible via the onboard Micro USB port, allowing for easy connection to flight controllers, single-board computers, or USB-to-serial adapters for configuration and real-time distance data retrieval.

What is the operating voltage range, and can it be powered by a USB port?

The module operates from a wide 5V to 20V DC supply. A standard 5V USB power source is sufficient to power the module, making it convenient for testing and integration with systems that provide USB power. For higher voltage systems, such as drone battery packs (e.g., 12V), it can connect directly without a regulator.

What is the measurement accuracy and update rate of the NRA24?

The NRA24 offers a high ranging accuracy of ±2 centimeters (±0.02 meters) within its 0.1 to 50-meter range. It provides distance updates at a fast 50Hz rate, delivering real-time altitude data suitable for dynamic control applications like drone stabilization and autonomous landing sequences.

Is this radar module suitable for outdoor and grassy terrain use?

Yes, the FMCW radar technology used in the NRA24 is effective in various outdoor environments, including grasslands. It is designed to provide reliable ground distance measurements even over non-paved, vegetated, or uneven surfaces, which is a key advantage for agricultural drones and outdoor robotics.
