Getting a 24 GHz FMCW radar design from schematic to a working board isn’t straightforward. RF at these frequencies punishes sloppy stackups, bad impedance control, and careless component placement. That’s exactly why PCBSync offers full-stack manufacturing services built around our 24 GHz FMCW radar evaluation board — so your team spends time on algorithm development and system integration, not chasing down layout gremlins.
Our eval board runs a continuous-wave frequency-modulated radar front end operating in the 24.0–24.25 GHz ISM band. It ships with matched patch antennas, a low-noise receive chain, and an onboard baseband output ready to feed straight into your ADC or FPGA. We handle the entire build: high-frequency laminate selection (Rogers 4350B or equivalent), controlled-impedance routing, gold-plated RF transitions, and full automated optical inspection before anything leaves our floor.
What sets this apart from grabbing a dev kit off the shelf is customization. Need a different antenna pattern for your industrial sensing application? Want to integrate a specific MCU footprint or swap the IF filter bandwidth? We modify the reference design to match your end use, then manufacture in small or mid-volume batches with the same process controls. Every board ships with S-parameter validation data and a basic functional test report.
Typical turnaround sits at 3–4 weeks for prototype quantities, faster if you’re working from our baseline design without major changes. We support NPI through production handoff, meaning the board you prototype with is the same board you scale with — no redesign surprises when volumes go up.
If you’re building presence detection, gesture recognition, vital-sign monitoring, or short-range distance measurement, this platform gets you to real RF measurements fast. Reach out for a design review — we’ll walk through your requirements and tell you honestly what’s feasible.
