Description

The NRA15 Altimeter Radar utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology in the 24GHz band to provide accurate distance-to-ground measurements. This non-contact sensing method ensures reliable performance independent of lighting or weather conditions, making it ideal for aerial navigation and terrain-following applications.

Engineered with a low 1.1W power consumption and a 12V DC supply, the module is optimized for integration into battery-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, and small airships. Its stable performance and high sensitivity enable consistent altitude data critical for autonomous flight control and safety systems.

Key Features

  • 24GHz FMCW Radar Technology for precise, continuous distance measurement.
  • High Accuracy up to 0.1m ensures reliable altitude data for critical navigation.
  • Extended Detection Range of up to 100m for versatile aerial applications.
  • Compact & Lightweight Design (100x57x?mm, 81g) minimizes payload impact.
  • UART Serial Interface enables simple plug-and-play communication with most flight controllers and microcontrollers.
  • Low Power Operation at 1.1W typical consumption, suitable for mobile platforms.
  • RoHS Compliant construction meets environmental and safety standards.
  • Wide Environmental Adaptability for reliable performance in grasslands and varied outdoor terrains.

Applications

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) altitude hold and terrain-following systems.
  • Helicopter and small airship altitude measurement and ground proximity warning.
  • Autonomous drone landing systems requiring precise height-above-ground data.
  • Agricultural drone spray control and crop canopy height mapping.
  • Research and development platforms for radar-based navigation and obstacle detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and communication interface for the NRA15 radar?

The NRA15 operates from a 12V DC power supply and communicates via a standard UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) serial interface. This makes it directly compatible with most flight controllers, autopilots (like Pixhawk, ArduPilot), and microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) using simple TX/RX connections for sending commands and receiving altitude data.

What is the typical detection range and accuracy of this 24GHz altimeter?

This FMCW radar sensor has a maximum detection range of up to 100 meters with a measurement accuracy of up to 0.1 meters (10 cm) under optimal conditions. The actual performance can be influenced by factors such as ground surface material, antenna angle, and environmental interference. For critical applications, refer to the detailed datasheet for performance graphs and calibration procedures.

Is this sensor suitable for integration into a multi-rotor or fixed-wing drone?

Yes, the NRA15 is specifically designed for airborne platforms. Its compact size (100x57mm), light weight (81g), and low power consumption (1.1W) make it an excellent choice for integration into UAVs, including multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones. It provides reliable height-above-ground data essential for autonomous landing, terrain following, and maintaining a constant altitude over uneven landscapes.
