Infineon XENSIV™ 60 GHz BGT60UTR11AIP Radar Sensor

Smallest 60 GHz radar chip with integrated antennas on the market

The Infineon XENSIV™ 60 GHz BGT60UTR11AIP is optimized for low power consumption and system cost optimization. With its compact size of only 16 mm², it is suitable for integration into the smallest devices. The MMIC is manufactured using Infineon's B11 SiGe BiCMOS technology, ensuring excellent RF performance.

Its 5.6 GHz ultra-wide bandwidth allows FMCW operations with extremely high resolution. The detection of sub-mm movements ensures not only extremely sensitive presence and motion detection up to a range of 15 m, but also enables mm precise range measurements, 1D gestures as well as the measurement of vital signs such as breathing rate and heart rate.

The sensor features a 50 MHz digital SPI interface for configuration and data transfer, while an integrated state machine enables real-time data acquisition without requiring constant interaction with the processor. With three different power modes, users have flexibility to optimize between performance and power consumption. The BGT60UTR11AIP's sub-mA average current consumption makes it suitable for battery-powered devices.

For initial evaluation of product features, fast prototyping and radar algorithm development, Infineon offers the DEMO BGT60UTR11AIP as well as the Radar Development Kit (RDK), which can be downloaded via the Infineon Developer Center (IDC).
