Infineon Technologies BGT60LTR11AIP

The BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC is a fully integrated microwave motion sensor including Antennas in Package (AIP) as well as built-in motion and direction of motion detectors. A state machine enables operation of the device autonomously, i.e., without an external microcontroller or further signal processing.

The detection threshold or sensitivity has 16 different levels in order to fulfill a configurable detection range from 0.5 m up to 7 m with a typical human target Radar Cross Section (RCS). The device can achieve power consumption of less than 2mW with adjustable duty cycling.

DEMO BGT60LTR11AIP - completely autonomous 60GHz radar sensor MMIC for motion sensing

The 60 GHz radar MMIC is a fully integrated microwave motion sensor including Antennas in Package (AIP) as well as integrated detectors for motion and direction of motion. A state machine enables operation of the device without any external microcontroller. In this autonomous mode, it detects a human target up to 5 m with a low power consumption of less than 5 mW. These features make the small sized radar solution a compelling smart and cost-effective replacement for conventional PIR sensors in low power or battery-powered applications.

For evaluation of the BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC, this demo includes the BGT60LTR11AIP shield as well as the Infineon Radar Baseboard MCU7.

The BGT60LTR11AIP shield can be attached to an Arduino MKR board or the included Infineon Radar Baseboard MCU7. Infineon’s Toolbox supports this platform with a demonstration software and a Radar GUI to display and analyze acquired data in time and frequency domain. It further enables to change various performance parameters of the BGT60LTR11AIP in order to evaluate this radar sensor.
