Infineon presents excessive built-in XENSIV 60 GHz radar sensor

Infineon Applied sciences AG introduces new XENSIV 60 GHz radar sensor BGT60UTR11AIP. With a compact measurement of 16 mm², it’s the small 60 GHz radar sensor with antennas in package deal (AIP) in the marketplace and is designed for integration into small gadgets.

This makes the sensor preferrred for important sensing (coronary heart and respiratory price) and healthcare gadgets akin to child screens and sleep trackers. It’s also appropriate for shopper electronics akin to laptops, TVs and cameras, in addition to good residence and constructing gadgets akin to air conditioners, thermostats and good doorbells. The radar sensor may also be utilized in industrial functions together with robotics and tank degree measurement.

The monolithic microwave built-in circuit (MMIC) is predicated on Infineon’s B11 SiGe BiCMOS expertise, which ensures radio frequency (RF) efficiency. The chip options an ultra-wide bandwidth of 5.6 GHz and a ramp velocity of 400 MHz/µs. Because of this, a sensor allows high-resolution frequency modulated steady wave (FMCW) operation with delicate presence and movement detection at a spread of as much as 15 m (50 ft).

As well as, a sensor allows exact distance measurement, 1D gesture and important signal detection, all with sub-mm movement detection capabilities. The built-in antennas present a ±60° subject of view. As well as, an built-in state machine allows real-time knowledge acquisition with out processor interplay. The MMIC additionally features a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a sampling price of as much as 4 MSPS (mega samples per second).

The MMIC’s built-in broadcast mode permits a number of chips to be synchronised. It additionally contains on-chip sensors for measuring Tx output energy and temperature. As well as, the sensor options ultra-low energy operation enabled by {hardware} deep sleep mode. Its excessive integration degree makes this MMIC preferrred for optimising system prices.

Availability

The XENSIV 60 GHz radar BGT60UTR11AIP might be ordered now and can start transport within the fourth quarter of 2023. Extra info is obtainable at right here.

For an preliminary analysis of the radar sensor, Infineon offers the DEMO BGT60UTR11AIP and Radar Improvement Equipment (RDK), each out there for obtain from the Infineon Developer Centre (IDC).
