Product description
Compact 60GHz radar module for integrated sensing solutions
The AK5816AIM from AKM is a 60GHz radar module that combines a radar IC with an integrated antenna array. Its construction is intended for compact integrations and supports radar-based applications that need position sensing, posture recognition, and vital-sign-related detection in a small module format.
Designed for fall detection and human monitoring
AKM describes the module as the basis of a fall detection solution that can accurately detect a person’s position and posture and recognize a fall event within 10 seconds. This makes the module relevant for systems that need local recognition of motion states and critical events.
Multi-person sensing with position and respiration detection
The module supports the simultaneous detection of positions and respirations of multiple persons. Combined with 4 transmit channels, 4 receive channels, and a ±60° field of view, the AK5816AIM is suited to radar-based monitoring tasks within defined coverage zones.
Simplified integration on standard substrates
A key integration feature is that, according to the manufacturer, no antenna design know-how is required. The module can be mounted on a standard substrate such as FR4. This makes the AK5816AIM suitable for compact radar designs where development effort and RF layout complexity need to be reduced.
Compact BGA form factor for space-constrained designs
With a size of 23 x 23 mm in a BGA package, the module is suitable for space-constrained integrations. This supports use in compact sensing, monitoring, and embedded mmWave radar systems.
