Radar Technology
for Your Business.
We bring radar sensing to you: custom millimeter-wave radar sensors and solutions, from specs to market.
The Potential of Radars
Radar sensing offers a unique combination of properties unavailable in any other sensor technology.
Privacy protection
Radars detect and measure without capturing any identifiable image, making them fully compliant with privacy regulations.
Contactless sensing
No physical contact needed: measurements are taken remotely, enabling safer and more hygienic monitoring solutions.
See-through capability
Radar waves penetrate cardboard, clothing, and non-metallic materials, enabling inspection and detection through barriers.
Sub-mm precision
Measurements accurate to sub-millimeter level, ideal for detecting micro-vibrations, breathing, and structural deflections.
All-weather operation
Immune to darkness, fog, dust, and harsh environmental conditions, radars work where cameras and optical sensors fail.
EMC compliant
Our radar solutions meet electromagnetic compatibility standards, ensuring safe coexistence with other electronic equipment.
Our vision & mission
Making lives safer through radar innovation.
We believe radar technology is one of the most underutilised sensing technologies in industry today. Our mission is to change that by making radar accessible, practical, and transformative for businesses of every kind.
Deep Radars was born from academic research and industry ambition: a team of electronic and telecommunication engineers from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, committed to spreading radar intelligence across sectors.
Radar solutions for your industry
We develop custom radar-based solutions that enhance product quality, boost productivity, and improve safety.
Indoor/outdoor presence detection
The sub-millimeter precision of radars enables precise presence detection capabilities, even in the presence of smoke or fog. Their high accuracy allows for detection of breath heartbeats micromovements, to detect the presence of individuals even when they are perfectly still. Furthermore, they allow contactless measurement of vital signs in humans and animals; no wearables, no contact required.
Applications include hospital patient monitoring, elderly care, sleep analysis, and veterinary wellness, all while fully preserving privacy.
Industrial SAR
Combining synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with millimeter-wave sensing produces sharp, high-resolution 3D images of an object's internal structure. Because millimeter waves pass through cardboard, plastics, and other common packaging materials, the system can look inside sealed items without ever opening them.
As a non-ionizing, non-hazardous alternative to X-ray, it exposes hidden defects, missing or misaligned components, and assembly errors in real time, all while keeping products and operators completely safe from radiation.

Outdoor SAR
We develop advanced radar systems based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for outdoor sensing. Our technology enables autonomous navigation, hidden pattern recognition and infrastructural monitoring, as well as perimeter security, terrain mapping and search-and-rescue operations in low-visibility environments.
Unlike cameras and LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar is unaffected by darkness, rain, fog, dust or smoke, and delivers range-resolved 3D images of the scene in any lighting or weather condition. Fused with optical data, it reveals objects and structures invisible to the eye, while preserving privacy, since no identifiable images of people are recorded.

Vibration monitoring
Our millimeter-wave radars detect machinery vibrations with amplitudes as small as 0.01 mm. Their fully contactless operation delivers robust, reliable measurements even in harsh conditions, such as extremely hot or cold surfaces, dust, or droplets, where traditional contact-based sensors would fail.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about radar technology, our solutions and how we work.
What does Deep Radars do?
Deep Radars designs, develops and industrialises custom millimeter-wave radar sensors and radar-based solutions. We cover the whole path from specs to market: requirements analysis, feasibility studies, RF and PCB design, firmware, signal processing, prototypes and MVPs, support to certification and industrialisation.
What are the advantages of radar compared with cameras and other sensors?
Radar does not capture identifiable images, so it preserves privacy. It measures without contact, sees through cardboard, clothing and other non-metallic materials, reaches sub-millimeter precision and keeps working in darkness, fog, dust and harsh environments where cameras and optical sensors fail.
Can a radar detect a person who is perfectly still?
Yes. Thanks to its sub-millimeter precision, a radar picks up the micro-movements caused by breathing and heartbeat, so it can detect the presence of people who are not moving and even measure vital signs without any wearable or contact.
Which applications does Deep Radars work on?
Our main case studies are indoor/outdoor presence detection and contactless vital-sign monitoring (hospitals, elderly care, sleep analysis, veterinary wellness), industrial SAR 3D imaging for non-destructive inspection of sealed packages, and contactless vibration monitoring of machinery for predictive maintenance.
Which frequency bands and radar technologies do you cover?
We design radar and RF systems from Sub-GHz and X band (8–12 GHz) to mmWave (24, 60 and 77 GHz), Sub-THz (120 and 240 GHz) and THz, including FMCW, CW Doppler, MIMO and synthetic aperture radar architectures.
Which radar products can I buy or evaluate?
Our catalog includes Hedgehog (60 GHz FMCW radar with USB), Vulture (60 GHz radar with CAN FD), Sparrow 9020 (24 GHz Doppler module with on-board processing), the Arduino Radar Shield v1.0 and the Octopus USB to SPI/I²C converter. See all products.
Do you offer radar training for companies?
Yes. We run free webinars, on-site workshops and in-depth technical courses on radar fundamentals, FMCW and MIMO radar and radar signal processing, tailored to your team. Recorded webinars are available online.
Where is Deep Radars based and who is behind it?
Deep Radars Srl is based in Modena, Italy. It was founded in 2025 by engineers of SIGCOMLAB, the telecommunications laboratory of the "Enzo Ferrari" Department of Engineering, and is an external spin-off of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
