北京2018年3月19日電 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) 近日宣布收購Symeo GmbH，一家總部位于德國慕尼黑的私人公司，專注于新興無人駕駛汽車和工業(yè)應(yīng)用的RADAR硬件和軟件。Symeo公司創(chuàng)新的信號處理算法將有助于ADI公司為客戶提供角精度和分辨率均顯著改善的RADAR平臺。
ADI公司自主交通運輸與安全部門副總裁Chris Jacobs指出：“憑借此次收購，ADI公司將能為客戶交付功能更全面、競爭力更強(qiáng)的RADAR解決方案。ADI公司擁有行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的產(chǎn)品系列，Symeo公司具備系統(tǒng)和算法方面的專業(yè)優(yōu)勢，兩者相結(jié)合將會帶來性能更高的RADAR解決方案，在自主系統(tǒng)中實現(xiàn)更加精確的檢測功能?！?/p>
Symeo公司獨有的射頻和傳感器技術(shù)能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)實時位置檢測和距離測量，使得系統(tǒng)集成商和原始設(shè)備制造商 (OEM) 能夠提供適用于惡劣工業(yè)環(huán)境的高精度RADAR解決方案，與ADI公司在此領(lǐng)域不斷擴(kuò)充的市場解決方案系列形成互補。
Symeo公司的工業(yè)高精度RADAR技術(shù)最初是由Siemens AG公司 (XETRA: SIE) 所開發(fā)，于2005年由Siemens Technology Accelerator GmbH (STA) 作為獨立實體衍生出來。
Siemens Technology Accelerator的首席執(zhí)行官Rudolf Freytag博士表示：“Symeo公司已逐漸成為工業(yè)RADAR解決方案的技術(shù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，此次并購?fù)瓿珊?，結(jié)合ADI公司的技術(shù)平臺和廣泛的市場渠道，必將推動工業(yè)領(lǐng)域的進(jìn)一步創(chuàng)新，在汽車與航空航天市場亦是如此?！?/p>
Symeo公司團(tuán)隊將加入ADI公司的自主交通運輸與安全 (ATS) 業(yè)務(wù)部門，仍位于慕尼黑。
