A New Radar Paradigm: Distributed, Miniaturized, Scalable
At the core of Xavveo’s innovation is a radical shift in radar architecture. Instead of relying on a few large radar units, the system deploys ultra-compact radar modules—measuring as little as 1 cm²—that can be freely distributed across vehicles, infrastructure, or platforms.

Despite the decentralized setup, the system generates a coherent, high-resolution radar image with up to 360° coverage. Modules of varying sizes can be embedded directly into vehicle bodies or integrated into critical infrastructure, creating seamless situational awareness without the design constraints of conventional sensor housings.

This distributed approach enables robust perception for Autonomous Driving:

• On-road

• Off-road

• On Yard

Photonics Meets Radar Engineering
Technically, Xavveo combines high-frequency radar with fiber-optic signal transmission. The system architecture is built around two specialized semiconductor components:

Radar Chip: Converts conventional RF radar signals into photonic signals, enabling low-loss transmission via optical fiber.

Central High-Performance SoC: Synchronizes all distributed modules and processes incoming data streams into a unified, real-time environmental model.

By leveraging photonic signal transport, the system achieves highly precise synchronization across distributed modules while minimizing electromagnetic interference. This ensures a coherent radar image even when modules are spaced over larger surfaces or complex geometries.

Enhanced Detection at Lower System Cost
One of the key advantages of the Distributed Photonic Radar architecture is its cost efficiency. The miniaturized modules are designed for scalable manufacturing, while centralized processing reduces redundancy at the sensor level.

The result is a high-performance sensing solution that can detect small, hard-to-track targets more effectively compared to traditional radar arrays.

Outlook
With its Distributed Photonic Radar, Xavveo is redefining how radar systems are designed, deployed, and scaled. By combining extreme miniaturization, fiber-optic signal distribution, and centralized high-performance processing, the company addresses both technical and economic challenges in modern surveillance and autonomous systems.
