TI Launches 4D Imaging Radar with 8Tx and 8Rx on One Chip

Published on April 29, 2026

Texas Instruments has introduced the AWR2188 4D imaging radar transceiver, integrating 8 transmitters and 8 receivers on a single chip. This integration significantly simplifies radar system design for automotive applications.

4D radar technology provides an additional dimension i.e. elevation information beyond conventional radar systems. This feature enables improved object detection and classification.

Key features

• 8 Tx plus 8 Rx integrated radar channels
• Single chip radar transceiver architecture
• Object detection range over 350 meters
• Faster detection through an integrated radar chirp slope engine
• 30 % faster data processing
• Supports satellite and edge radar architectures
• Improved performance in crowded and high dynamic environments

Applications

• Autonomous driving systems
• Adaptive cruise control
• Collision avoidance
• Traffic monitoring systems

The high channel density allows designers to build advanced radar platforms with lower hardware complexity and reduced system cost.
