ASIC stands for Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, which means integrated circuits (IC) that are designed for specific purposes. These ICs are not commercially available on in the markets. Therefore, the specification and the performance of the ASICs can be optimized to be most suitable for the applications and the requirements from customers. Normally, the number of chips obtain obtained from ASIC designs are lower compared to those from the standard chips. ASICs offer several advantages compared to employing standard ICs, such as:

At Silicon Radar, ASIC design services of Radar chips are available in a wide frequency range starting from low GHz region such as 10 GHz up to sub-THz region such as 245 GHz. The types of Radars are also available in a wide variety such as single-channel FMCW Radar, multi-channel Radar, phased-array and MIMO chips. The experience in Radar chip design at Silicon Radar is summarized (but no not limited to) in Figure 2. The main technologies used in the designs are IHP SiGe BiCMOS such as 250-nm (for low-frequency circuits) and 130-nm processes (for high-frequency circuits).

Not only ASIC Radar chip designs, Silicon Radar also provide provides a full range of design flow starting from design consultant, chip design, antenna design, Radar module and complete Radar sensor. The miniaturized Radar design service at Silicon Radar is summarized in Figure 3.
