Supply Ambarella Oculii™ Centrally Processed Radar Heads:OCULII™ EAGLE-C,OCULII™ FALCON-C

Amidst the rapid evolution of autonomous driving perception technology, 4D imaging radar has emerged as the core perception hardware for Level 2+ to Level 4 autonomous driving systems, thanks to its key advantages such as all-weather stability and high-resolution detection. Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. has specialised in the electronic components sector for many years and now stocks Ambarella’s Oculii™ series of centralised radar processing units — the OCULII™ EAGLE-C and OCULII™ FALCON-C — providing high-performance, highly reliable radar perception solutions for in-vehicle ADAS, autonomous driving and intelligent transport applications.

I. The Core of Ambarella’s Oculii™ Technology: Redefining Radar Perception Capabilities

As Ambarella’s globally leading AI 4D imaging radar technology brand, Oculii™ breaks through the limitations of traditional radar hardware with its revolutionary Virtual Aperture Imaging (VAI) technology. Unlike traditional radar systems, which rely on costly solutions involving an increased number of antennas to improve resolution, Oculii™ uses AI algorithms to dynamically modulate waveforms and encode data. This enables ultra-high angular resolution, ultra-dense point clouds and ultra-long detection ranges with fewer antennas, lower power consumption and a smaller form factor, delivering comprehensive performance that is more than 50 times better than traditional radar. Its core technical advantages are as follows:

AI-adaptive waveforms: Adapt in real time to complex environments, offering strong interference resistance and precise identification of low-RCS targets (such as pedestrians and motorcycles);

Centralised Processing Architecture: Raw radar data is directly connected to Ambarella’s CV3-AD series AI domain-controlled SoC, enabling centralised allocation of computing power and deep data fusion;

77GHz Vehicle-Specific Frequency Band: Complies with automotive standards, offers strong penetration through rain, fog and dust, and operates stably in all weather conditions and at all times.

II. OCULII™ EAGLE-C: Flagship Ultra-High-Resolution 4D Imaging Radar

The OCULII™ EAGLE-C is the flagship centralised processing radar unit in Ambarella’s Oculii™ series, designed for long-range, high-precision primary radar applications, and is regarded as the ‘benchmark for in-vehicle radar perception’.

Key Specifications and Performance

Angular Resolution: Industry-leading 0.5° (horizontal) × 1° (vertical), with a wide field of view of 120° (horizontal) × 30° (vertical), enabling precise differentiation of densely packed targets at close range;

Detection Capability: Maximum detection range of 500 metres+, generating tens of thousands of points per frame, with imaging performance comparable to 16-line LiDAR;

Hardware Architecture: Dual-chip (6T8R) design, utilising only a quarter of the chips required by traditional radar, with power consumption <5W and compatibility with 12V vehicle power supplies;

Dimensions: Compact design, smaller than a business card, facilitating easy integration into the front of the vehicle, the bumper and other locations.

Key Advantages

Centralised Processing: RAW ADC data is transmitted directly to the Ambarella CV3-AD SoC, reducing data loss and enhancing real-time perception;

Automotive-Grade Reliability: Complies with the AEC-Q100 standard, with a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, suitable for harsh in-vehicle environments;

Adaptability to Complex Environments: Strong multipath interference suppression capability, delivering stable, high-precision perception data in urban congestion, high-speed cruising and adverse weather conditions.

III. OCULII™ FALCON-C: Ultra-Compact, High-Value 4D Imaging Radar

The OCULII™ FALCON-C is a micro-sized, centrally processed radar unit from Ambarella’s Oculii™ series, designed for cost-effective short-to-medium range auxiliary radar applications, balancing performance with integration flexibility.

Key Specifications and Performance

Angular resolution: 2° (horizontal) × 5° (vertical), 120° horizontal field of view, meeting standard ADAS detection requirements;

Detection Capabilities: Maximum detection range of 200 metres; single-chip (3T4R) architecture; power consumption <2.5W; ultra-low power consumption suitable for in-vehicle low-power scenarios;

Dimensions: Ultra-compact 6cm × 6cm form factor, smaller than an ID card, allowing flexible deployment around the vehicle body (corner radar, side radar);

Data Interface: Standardised in-vehicle interface, plug-and-play, enabling rapid integration with Ambarella AI SoCs or in-vehicle domain controllers.

Core Advantages

Ultimate Integration: Single-chip implementation of 4D imaging capability, at a cost of just one-third that of traditional 4D radar, suitable for mass production requirements;

360° All-Round Perception: Just four FALCON-C radars provide 360° coverage of the vehicle with no blind spots, suitable for autonomous driving surround view, blind spot monitoring, and automated parking scenarios;

Flexible Adaptability: Suitable not only for passenger vehicle ADAS but also expandable to multiple fields such as smart commercial vehicles, industrial robots, and intelligent transport.
