01

S-Takaya has partnerships with multiple radar IC manufacturers

  • Texas Instruments
  • Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation
  • Analog Devices
  • Acconeer
  • NXP Semiconductors
  • Infineon Technologies

Since S-Takaya has partnerships with the six radar IC manufacturers listed above, S-Takaya can proceed with projects in consultation with these manufacturers on how to realize the project. (Each IC manufacturer has its own characteristics, such as for consumer, automotive, and industrial equipment.)
S-Takaya supports restrictions on the radar IC manufacturers used. Additionally, with S-Takaya, customers can benefit from early access to new IC products. Also, S-Takaya has extensive experience in radar development.（Number of prototypes developed in FY2023：About 80 units）

02

A wide variety of evaluation kit models are available

There are 27 models of radar module evaluation kits available at S-Takaya（as of October 2024）.
Various models are available, such as those with antenna layouts suitable for 2D and 3D detection, and those with antenna polarizations tailored to specific situations. S-Takaya offers a wide range of evaluation kits that leverage the unique features of radar IC manufacturers, including price, size, and performance.
Customers, with S-Takaya, can select and evaluate the optimal model based on differences in radar ICs, frequency bands, and antenna patterns.

03

S-Takaya has an evaluation environment with various measurement equipment

S-Takaya offers a wide range of high-frequency measurement equipment, including not only spectrum analyzers and signal generators for measuring signals but also target simulators that can simulate distances and speeds measurable by radar.
Also, S-Takaya has multiple anechoic chambers equipped with measurement systems that include gonio stages for accurately measuring millimeter waves.
Highly accurate measurements and simulate distances and speeds using various equipment in appropriate environments are available at S-Takaya.

04

Mass production is available

S-Takaya provides optimal radar proposals, field evaluation support, selection of components suitable for the usage environment, reliability testing, and handle everything from component mounting to final product assembly and inspection.
S-Takaya is ISO9001 and IATF16949 certified company, and has established and is operating internal regulations (DR:Design Review for new models regulations) in accordance with ISO9001 requirements.

We can acquire foreign certifications of radio law as well as Technical Standards Conformity Certification (Technical Standards) based on Japanese radio law. Also, at our factory, it is possible to acquire Certification of Construction Type for the mass-production.

05

Various types of customer required test are available

To ensure the performance of mass-produced radar products, S-Takaya leverages our high-frequency expertise to establish its own unique inspection line.
Also, it is possible to build a customized inspection line according to customer requirements.

06

Dedicated apps for all models of the evaluation kits are included

All radar module evaluation kits are with a dedicated app for each model, therefore, the customer can start evaluation immediately after purchase.
Customers can save and replay data within the app, allowing them to verify experimental results while in the lab. The app also supports USB camera recording, enabling simultaneous storage of field evaluation content, which greatly aids in post-evaluation verification tasks.

07

S-Takaya provides services for obtaining Certificate of Conformity with Technical Regulations and Certificate of Construction Type.

In Japan, the devices that use radio waves must obtain permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
S-Takaya, with a wealth of experience in obtaining certifications, can obtain "Certificate of Conformity with Technical Regulations", "Certificate of Construction Type", and radio law certifications from various countries.
Total number of Certificate of Conformity with Technical Regulations obtained: 114
Total number of Certificate of Construction Type obtained: 34
　(as of September 2024)
