HJWAVE Co., Ltd. (CEO: Tae-Hwan Yoo), a company specializing in millimeter wave RF, announced on the 9th that it has been exclusively selected for the national project of Technology Innovation Development Market Expansion by the Small and Medium Business Administration. 

The “Development of Wideband, Wide-Angle Antenna to Reduce Performance Deviation Between Multi-Channels” selected this time is a technology development applied to autonomous driving image radar and high-resolution, high-resolution radar for civilian border surveillance. It is a waveguide antenna technology that can reduce channel deviation by more than 60% compared to conventional technology by improving deviation through optimization and ripple reduction between multiple antenna channels. In addition, this technology is an essential core technology for high-resolution radar systems that can detect and distinguish small objects by improving the vertical, horizontal distance, velocity, and angular resolution of the radar, and is expected to contribute to improving the accuracy and reliability of autonomous driving and surveillance systems.

HJWave explained the reason for being selected for this new national project, saying, “It seems that our commercialization potential was highly evaluated in consideration of the numerous intellectual property rights we own, the ongoing development and mass production projects between domestic and foreign autonomous driving radar manufacturers and civilian radar manufacturers, and our track record of attracting external investment.”

HJWave CEO Yoo Tae-hwan said, “We expect the demand for antenna development for high-resolution radar to increase in various fields, and through this government-supported project, we will secure high-resolution waveguide antenna technology and mass production, and leap forward to become the best among domestic and foreign millimeter wave (30 ~ 300GHz) antenna companies.” He also expressed his aspirations, saying, “In the field of waveguide antenna technology, which is highly dependent on overseas markets, we would like to improve the trade imbalance through localization, and contribute to strengthening the global competitiveness of domestic autonomous driving and civilian radar.”
