aiRadar selects Sivers Semiconductors to develop 28GHz antenna module for advanced radar systems
KISTA, Sweden - Sivers Semiconductors AB in Kista, Sweden announced it has been selected by aiRadar Inc. in Burnaby, British Columbia to develop a 28GHz antenna module based on Sivers’ TRX BF02 beamforming transceiver chip. The module will support aiRadar’s next-generation radar systems, with a focus on high-performance drone platforms.
The collaboration marks a move beyond telecom for Sivers’ beamforming technology, integrating it with aiRadar’s radar signal processing to create compact, high-resolution radar systems for both commercial and military use.
"This partnership with aiRadar is a clear example of how our technology can be adapted beyond telecom to empower cutting-edge radar applications," said Harish Krishnaswamy, managing director of Sivers’ Wireless Business Unit. "The requirements for performance, form factor and reliability are incredibly demanding, especially in aerospace and defense."

Michael Grigorian, COO of aiRadar, said the company is expanding its multimode radar offerings into the Ka-band using the TRX BF02 module. "Sivers' technology will enable new product ranges for our DroneSAR surveillance system and our drone detection capability," he said.
The TRX BF02 is a 28GHz radio frequency integrated circuit that covers 24.0 to 29.5 GHz, supports data rates up to 5 Gbit/s, and features a 16-transmit/16-receive channel beamforming architecture. It is designed for scalable, high-performance radar use across a wide temperature range.
