Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs. - If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation. **For use in other regions** - Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly. A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DRM-RFL-6371:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DRM-RFL-6371:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description A cutting-edge 60GHz mm-wave radar add-on that brings high-precision sensing to Raspberry Pi 4B and 5. Designed for developers, makers, and researchers, DreamHAT+ enables gesture recognition, presence detection, and indoor tracking — all without using cameras or microphones. It comes with plug-and-play examples and an open Python API, so you can get started right away. Whether you're building robotics, smart home devices, or experimenting with signal processing, DreamHAT+ gives your project radar vision with privacy built in. **Kit includes**The HAT+ comes with 25mm standoffs (x4), booster header (x1) and screws (x8), so it can be used with a [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html) with [Active Cooler](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-active-cooler.html) attached (Raspberry Pi and Active Cooler are **sold separately**). **About DreamHAT+ Radar**The 60 GHz mm-wave DreamHAT+ Radar is a cutting-edge Raspberry Pi 4B and 5 add-on, offering advanced ultra-wide band (UWB) frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensing capabilities in a compact and user-friendly package. The DreamHAT+ is built around the Infineon BGT60TR13C radar MMIC with 4 integrated antennas on the chip (1 transmitting antenna and 3 receiving antennas) to offer directional sensing and motion tracking in a wide range of applications, from robotics and smart home automation to proximity monitoring and gesture recognition. By leveraging millimetre-wave FMCW radar technology, the DreamHAT+ achieves exceptional precision even in challenging conditions such as low light, smoky, and foggy environments where cameras fail. **Features**- **High-Resolution Sensing:** Achieve millimetre-level accuracy to detect objects, gestures, and movement. Perfect for dynamic environments requiring precise sensing. - **Plug & Play:** Enjoy effortless integration within the Raspberry Pi ecosystem using the included open-source Python library. Also contains power and activity LEDs - **Real-Time Data Processing:** Real-time data acquisition, processing, and visualisation in fast-changing conditions. - **Advanced Features:** Leverage configurable sensing ranges up to 15 meters and various modes tailored for specific applications. - **Ready to Deploy:** Accelerate your prototyping journey with provided sample code, examples, and comprehensive documentation. - **IoT ready:** Low Power Consumption (~0.5W typical) makes it suitable for multicomponent operation and reduces thermal throttling. - **Standardised Architecture:** Conforms to the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification. **Radar Specifications** | Operating Frequency | 58 – 63.5 GHz | |---|---| | Transmission Bandwidth | 5 GHz | | Output Power | <10 mW EIRP: <15 dBm | | Detection Range | 0.1 – 15 m | | Range Resolution | 3 cm | | Field of view | 40° horizontal 65° vertical | | Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) | 3 ADC channels 12-bit resolution 4MSps | | Integrated Antennas | 1 Tx antenna 3 Rx antennas 5 dBi (max) gain | **Getting Started**A pre-configured Raspberry Pi OS image is provided to make it super easy to run the examples.
