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. 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. Two LEDs indicate the functioning of the radar sensor: green when a target is detected and red for the direction of motion. The demonstration board shown in Figure 3 is a turnkey solution to show the features of the radar sensor MMIC, and it can be used as-is for a system by connecting a power supply between the VCC and ground connections on the board.
