JIYI Terrain Following Radar (ZB005) for Agriculture Drones

Product Overview

The JIYI Terrain Following Radar (ZB005) is a compact, high-precision radar sensor designed for agricultural drones and precision farming applications. Operating on 24GHz ISM band technology, it continuously measures the distance between the drone and the ground, enabling real-time terrain following for consistent flight altitude over uneven landscapes and varying crop heights.

Designed specifically for crop spraying UAVs, the ZB005 helps improve spraying accuracy by automatically adjusting the drone's altitude according to terrain changes. Its compact design, low power consumption, and IP67-rated enclosure make it suitable for demanding agricultural environments, including dusty fields, light rain, fog, and smoke.

Whether used in crop protection, precision spraying, or autonomous agricultural missions, the JIYI Terrain Following Radar enhances flight stability and improves spraying consistency across the field.

Key Features

Real-Time Terrain Following

The ZB005 continuously measures ground distance and provides real-time altitude data, allowing the flight controller to automatically maintain a consistent height above the terrain.

24GHz ISM Band Radar Technology

Built using 24.125GHz ISM band radar technology with a highly integrated MMIC design, the sensor delivers reliable altitude measurements for agricultural UAV operations.

High Measurement Accuracy

The radar provides altitude measurement accuracy of up to ±5 cm, helping improve spray uniformity and maintain stable flight over uneven terrain.

Stable Performance

The radar outputs stable height data that remains reliable during flight, supporting consistent terrain-following performance throughout spraying operations.

All-Weather Operation

Designed for outdoor agricultural use, the ZB005 features an IP67-rated enclosure, allowing operation in environments such as:

• Dust

• Fog

• Smoke

• Light rain

Its radar-based measurement system is less affected by environmental conditions than many optical sensors.

Long Detection Range

The radar supports an altitude measurement range of 0.3 to 15 meters, making it suitable for various agricultural drone applications.

Low Power Consumption

With a power consumption of approximately 1.5W, the radar minimizes power requirements while maintaining continuous terrain monitoring.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Weighing less than 50g, the ZB005 is easy to integrate into agricultural drone platforms without significantly affecting payload capacity or flight performance.
