Radar sensing systems have historically been designed for single applications. These systems incorporated hardware and software, custom-developed for each purpose. As radar technology has evolved, it has become a general-purpose medium with the potential to support many applications but has lacked a path to interoperability. The Ripple specification, CTA-5400-B strives to address these concerns2. Ripple is an open radar API standard that enables different systems and devices to connect and communicate easily. With the open API, Ripple lowers barriers to entry for organizations to introduce applications for radar. Radar sensing technology, traditionally confined to specialized military applications, is increasingly making an impact across industries. Advances in radar systems have enabled integration into everyday devices. This whitepaper explores the use cases and applications of consumer radar systems, focusing on technologies suitable for consumer use such as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) and Pulsed Radars. This paper compares different radar frequencies—including 6 GHz, 24 GHz, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB)—to guide technology selection, based on specific application needs. Additionally, this whitepaper discusses the benefits of radar over other sensing technologies and considerations for integrating radar into products. By examining a wide range of applications—from automotive and smart home solutions to health monitoring and robotics—this whitepaper highlights the immense potential of radar technology. The Ripple open-radar API standard is also introduced as a means to address interoperability challenges, aiming to lower barriers to entry and promote wider adoption of radar in consumer applications.
