About

Zahir Parkar is a leading innovator in millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) CMOS radar technology, driving the evolution of high-performance, compact sensing solutions for automotive and industrial applications. His seminal work, "2.2 High-Performance and Small Form-Factor mm-Wave CMOS Radars for Automotive and Industrial Sensing in 76-to-81GHz and 57-to-64GHz Bands" (2021, 72 citations), has been instrumental in accelerating the adoption of CMOS-based radars for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Parkar’s key contributions lie in enabling multi-mode radar operation—supporting long, medium, and short-range sensing—within a single, small form-factor chip, a critical advancement for autonomous vehicle safety and industrial automation. By pushing the boundaries of 76-to-81 GHz and 57-to-64 GHz bands, his work has helped transition mm-Wave radar from niche military use to mass-market, cost-effective CMOS solutions. With his research shaping the next generation of intelligent sensing, Parkar continues to be a pivotal figure in the field, bridging the gap between cutting-edge semiconductor design and real-world automotive safety systems.
