Automotive DevelopmentRadar technology and Automotive – a combination which
is becoming more and more important in the future. Our
solutions and applications are applied as so-called “driver
assistance systems” in various areas like e.g. LCA, BSD, ACC.
Thus we became a major leading supplier of radar sensing
techniques to the automotive industry.
To satisfy the challenging requirements of automotive
customers InnoSenT is corporate-wide certified according to
ISO TS 16949 and therefore committed to highest quality
standards – for both automotive and industrial markets.
Our engineering team handles an optimum of laboratory and
measuring techniques while designing customized prototypes.
Using our modern manufacturing capabilities we turn them
into high-volume manufactured products. For this procedure
InnoSenT applies an established APQP-process.
Industrial DevelopmentThis division designs both standard and customized products for
industrial sectors like
� multimode radars (CW, FSK, FMCW, pulse)
� extended frequency ranges (24 GHz, 61 GHz, 77 GHz etc.)
� MMIC technologies
� antenna designs
Before starting a final design a comprehensive simulation process
takes place. InnoSenT owns the required state-of-the-art software
tools for this. Microwave test equipment up to 96 GHz exists and gets
permanently upgraded.
The vicinity of the development and the production departments enable
a fast turnaround of prototypes. This guarantees short development
cycles which finally result in quick time to market.
Our standardized development process includes all steps up to
production of a final product in large volume.

Applications engineeringAs a response to our customers’ requests InnoSenT established
a signal processing group in year 2009. The task of this team is to
implement special solutions on a system level. Beside the laboratory
a large test chamber is available for this group. In this hall extensive
demonstrations are performed while systems are integrated in test
vehicles for automotive applications.
The division mainly investigates and handles
� radar system simulation
� sensor characterization
� DSP hardware design and layouting
� DSP software engineering
� sensor integration
For sensor integration the inhouse mechanical engineering
department supports the DSP-Group.

Quality managementWith the daily implementation of all four pillars of our QMS,
a structured approach oriented to a PDCA cycle is extremely
important.
New standards can only be created if changes/improvements
are well-thought out and planned, their implementation
competently accompanied and the expected results/effects
have taken place, been checked and assured.
To then rescrutinise these standards, either cyclically or
unplanned if needed, with regard to improvement potential,
continually drives the CIP spiral further.
Along the lines of the motto “Standstill means a step
backwards”, we will always be a step ahead on the market if the
“CIP” motor is constantly running.

Quality policyAt InnoSenT, based on ISO 9001:2008, we have united both ISO/TS
16949:2009 and ISO 14001:2004 into one integrated quality management
system (QMS). Our QMS builds on four essential pillars:
Quality planning: Already in the planning and product creation phase, we
orient ourselves closely to an APQP-process which is standardised
inhouse. We implement this process across all phases of the development.
The use of FMEA, control and inspection plan is standard for us.
Quality control: Complaints management means as much to us as the
concurrent monitoring of our processes. A functional document control
assists us in complying with all guidelines.
Quality assurance: This begins with consequent supplier support and
impacts systematically across the entire process chain of incoming goods,
production, shipping and onto the customers. Transparent and complete
traceability of our processes and products is a matter of course.
Quality improvement: Within the framework of our CIP ideas, the
demand for continual improvement is at the forefront. Only by constantly
scrutinising processes and procedures for improvement potential, can
we continue to develop ourselves and the entire company further thus
securing overall success for the future.

Production Know-HowWith over 2,2 million manufactured sensors InnoSenT is a worldwide
active volume producer in radar sensor technology. Manufacturing
takes place at 100% on our state-of-the-art production lines in
Donnersdorf/Germany. By highest possible automation and more
than 10 years of manufacturing Know-How this is not contradictory to
market-driven prices.
To guarantee optimal process stability production is supported by a
certain department, which exclusively pays attention to the proper
process and testing techniques.
The teamwork of these two divisions guarantees the high quality level
of our products.
Production & Process Techniques
18 / 19
Process Technique
Process Technique configures the test equipment required for
production and is responsible for the optimization of all SMT
lines and assembly areas.
As another highlight the major part of test equipment
used is assembled by the internal test equipment tooling,
which reports to process technique. Finally a system was
implemented, which enables the perfect traceability of our
sensors by an integrated data matrix coding method.
By this department customer-specific test requirements can
be added to existing processes. It ranges from the mechanical
construction of the test setup to the programming of software
and interfaces.
ProductionInnoSenT’s production is specialized on pick-and-place of parts and
the final assembly of high frequency components.
Within the SMT-area InnoSenT uses optimized lines. The completely
aligned lines generates high quantities in a 3-shift operational mode.
Another line is setup for flexibility to produce quantities ranging from
100 pieces to 400.000 pieces per year of a certain product.
The completion as a perfect product takes place in a separate
assembly area right next to the SMD placement area. At the end of the
production process each device gets specifically tested. The storage of
test data results in a SPC securing product stability.
Based on a high specialization level InnoSenT offers its manufacturing
services for products in frequency ranges above 10 GHz.

Individual or standard solution?InnoSenT’s product portfolio is structured as diverse as the
application areas of sensor techniques are. This is firstly
possible by a variety of standard products and secondly by the
possibility of getting customized sensors.
While standard products selected from a catalogue stand out
due to short availability, many other products are generated
in close cooperation with our customers. Thus we secure that
the proper sensor for a certain application is selected and no
compromise has to be taken.
Product spectrum
We offer any possible radar principle from a simple CW-Doppler-
radar to FMCW/FSK and up to a multimode radar. Depending on the
required bandwidth we select the proper frequency range for you.
The majority of our products is allocated in the 24 GHz ISM band. This
offers a worldwide advantage to our customers regarding certification
and approval. Besides 24 GHz we may realize products in frequency
ranges up to 96 GHz upon customer’s request.
InnoSenT offers a very broad product portfolio ranging from a simple
radar frontend to a completely encapsulated sensor with integrated
intelligence. Our customers may select the proper interface (analogue
or digital) as necessary.
The key for all those mentioned technologies is a high level of
integration of RF components and subassemblies as well as antenna
structures.

Automotive applications and marketsIn a market-leading position as a supplier of radar technology,
our radar sensors set the standard in various vehicle
applications.
As one of the first radar-based vehicle assistance systems, the
lane change assistant – a joint development with HELLA – has
asserted itself as a benchmark on the market.
With a cost-efficient design, it is possible to fully monitor traffic
behind according to the specification in ISO-17387 Type III.
The further developed sensor generation also warns of
transverse traffic behind thus assisting during parking.
In addition to the different rear applications, our 24 GHz radar
technology also allows for efficient use in the front area of
the vehicle. Our sensors are used in classic ACC Stop and Go
systems, distance and collision warning systems as well as
adaptive brake assistants.
In addition to the wide-spread 24 GHz surround/environmental
sensors, InnoSenT has developed a 77 GHz radar solution with
pioneering performance.
Typical applications and marketsRadar sensor techniques address all those applications, where
velocity, distance/range and angle of arrival of an object shall be
measured. Of course the simple presence and motion detection of
objects is possible as well.
Our sensors are used today in the following areas:
� in passenger cars and trucks (e.g. LCA and ACC)
� in traffic monitoring (e.g. vehicle counting and guidance systems,
traffic light control, parking lot monitoring, mobile traffic signs)
� for industrial applications (e.g. level gauging, huge equipment
control, paper print sensing)
� train applications (e.g. velocity measurement and track
surveillance)
� environmental test methods (e.g. ice thickness and rain
measurement, flow measurement in different media)
� building technology (e.g. installation and security, light
management, sanitary equipment)
and hopefully soon in your application!
