#Autonomous Radar Sensor

[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/How-radar-can-make-your-home-intuitively-smart.mp4"][/video] Infineon’s new autonomous radar sensor adds “smartness” to traditional motion sensing applications, like lighting control, automated door opening, and security alarms (see Figure 1). The XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar sensor BGT60LTR11AIP is a Doppler motion sensor using the 60 GHz ISM-band, provided as a single package radar solution. Operating in autonomous mode, the radar can detect a human at a distance of up to 5m while consuming less than 5mW. The radar sensor can be hidden inside a product since it transmits and receives through non-metallic materials, enabling the adoption of radar technology into daily life. 1 Radar sensors enable traditional motion-sensing applications to become smarter.[/caption] LOW-POWER DOPPLER RADAR Figure 2 shows the functional block diagram of the BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC. For experienced radar users, semi-autonomous and SPI operating modes can be selected with the QS1 pin. In fully autonomous mode, the radar offers unprecedented simplicity. Two LEDs indicate the functioning of the radar sensor: green when a target is detected and red for the direction of motion.
