Description

The MR72 leverages advanced 77GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology to provide precise range, velocity, and angle-of-arrival data for dynamic obstacle mapping. Its millimeter-wave operation enables superior resolution compared to 24GHz systems, allowing for the detection of slender targets critical for aerial safety.

Engineered for harsh environments, the module operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and incorporates sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms to filter clutter and maintain target lock. The polycarbonate (PC) housing ensures durability while minimizing weight for integration into drones, robotic platforms, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Key Features

  • High-performance 76–77GHz FMCW radar core compliant with ETSI & FCC regulations.
  • Advanced signal processing for high sensitivity and low false-alarm rates in complex scenes.
  • Industrial-grade construction with an IP-rated enclosure (implied) for reliable operation in varied weather conditions.
  • Flexible +5V to +32V DC input, compatible with common UAV power systems and 24V industrial rails.
  • Integrated CAN interface (500kbit/s) alongside primary UART for versatile system communication.
  • Ultra-wide operating temperature range suitable for extreme aerial and outdoor applications.
  • Optimized form factor (100mm x 57mm) and sub-100g weight for space-constrained mobile platforms.

Applications

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) obstacle detection and avoidance for agricultural spraying, power line inspection, and surveying.
  • Autonomous ground vehicle and robotic navigation in warehouses, ports, and outdoor environments.
  • Infrastructure monitoring and collision prevention for inspection drones on oil/gas pipelines and railway systems.
  • Security and surveillance perimeter intrusion detection for automated patrol systems.
  • Logistics and firefighting drone operations requiring reliable sensing in smoke, dust, or low-light conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary communication interface for the MR72 radar, and how do I connect it?

The primary interface is UART (Serial), providing a simple, direct connection to flight controllers (like Pixhawk), single-board computers (Raspberry Pi), or microcontrollers (STM32). A secondary CAN interface (500 kbit/s) is also available for integration into automotive or industrial networks. Wiring typically requires connecting Power (5-32V), Ground, TX, and RX pins as per the datasheet.

What is the actual detection range and field of view of the MR72 module?

The MR72 offers a maximum detection range of up to 200 meters for sizable obstacles, with effective operational performance up to 90 meters for smaller targets like wires. It features a wide 120-degree horizontal field of view, providing comprehensive frontal coverage for drones and autonomous vehicles.

Can this radar operate in rain, fog, or at night?

Yes. The 77GHz millimeter-wave frequency penetrates light rain, fog, dust, and darkness effectively, unlike optical sensors (cameras, LiDAR). Its advanced signal processing is designed to filter out environmental noise and interference, making it a robust all-weather, day-and-night sensing solution.

What is the power supply requirement, and is it suitable for battery-powered drones?

The module accepts a wide input voltage range from +5V to +32V DC, making it compatible with standard 5V logic, 12V UAV systems, and 24V industrial power rails. With a low power consumption of approximately 2.5W, it is highly suitable for battery-powered drone applications where payload efficiency is critical.
