Uhnder develops commercial digital radar chips and software serving automotive, industrial, and defense customers. Its patent-pending technology aims to improve azimuth and elevation measurement accuracy to enable advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. The company has shipped over 200,000 of its next-generation digital radar chips and reports dozens of customer engagements across its target sectors. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Manju Hegde and Curtis Davis and based in Austin, Texas, Uhnder targets applications ranging from safety to convenience. The company intends to use new funding to expand its market presence. Uhnder develops fully digital 4D software-defined imaging radar using Digital Code Modulation (DCM) to replace traditional analog frequency modulation, delivering higher angular resolution, interference rejection, and High Contrast Resolution (HCR). Its flagship product, Voxel, is expected to be in production and automotive qualified in 2021. The company supplies both chips and system solutions for perception stacks and says customers requiring best-in-class radar for autonomous systems are fueling demand. Sensata Technologies plans to use Uhnder’s digital imaging radar chip across applications in mining, agriculture, aerospace, and construction. Uhnder was launched in 2015 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company positions its technology as enabling improved safety and smaller, lower-power radar footprints for autonomy and other automation applications.
