Infineon Technologies DEMO Distance2GoL

The Distance2GoL consists of two boards: the microcontroller board with the XMC4700 (RADAR BB XMC4700) and a radar frontend board (BGT24LTR11 Shield), which features a 4 x 1 array antenna for the transmitter and receiver sections. It is shielded with a metal cover and absorber material to get the best RF performance.

Key features

• User-configurable detection range up to 15 m for human target
• Detects distance and velocity of closest human or moving target
• Low power consumption due to duty cycling options
• Small form factor (4.5 x 3.6 cm)

Additional features

• The Distance2GoL combines the BGT24LTR11 RF transceiver with the XMC4700 32-bit Arm® Cortex® M4 MCU.
• Microstrip patch antennas with 10 dBi gain and 29°/80° field of view
• Software-controlled FMCW for power saving reduced costs and less PCB space
• A smart algorithm enables reliable one-dimensional tracking
• Operates in harsh environments and detects through non-metallic materials
• FCC & ETSI compliant
• Compatible with Arduino for ease of use and fast prototyping

Applications

• Smart home devices incl. smart home appliances
• Lighting systems (Indoor & Outdoor)
• Security systems
• Mobile Robots/ Service Robots
• Smart sanitary facilities (e.g. smart toilets)
• HVAC products like smart air conditioners
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) such as drones
• Bike radar systems
