Sensors and transducers go wireless and get smarter

摘要

Recent developments in sensors and transducers show increasing emphasis on connectivity for the IoT, intelligence for more integrated, standalone solutions, and higher performance in terms of precision and accuracy. The applications driving these developments include asset and device tracking and sensing, wearables, automotive, and smartphone applications such as virtual reality and augmented reality. In particular, radar-based ranging and position sensing for automotive has made marked improvements, thanks to a technology shift to the 76- to 81-GHz millimeter-wave bands.
