About

XENSIV? 24 GHz and 60 GHz radar sensing solutions from Infineon

As the market leader in radar chips, Infineon offers a wide portfolio of mmWave radar sensors as part of the XENSIV? sensor family ¨C including Doppler radar as well as FMCW radar systems. This portfolio includes the smallest 24 GHz MMIC in the market, as well as the largest and most integrated 24 GHz radar transceiver family currently available. XENSIV? BGT60LTR11AIP is the easiest to use radar sensor on the market due to its autonomous mode, while BGT60UTR11AIP is the smallest 60 GHz sensor with integrated antennas. The 60 GHz family is completed by several chipsets with multiple receive antennas and thus the possibility of angular resolution.

Infineon's radar sensors are characterized by the best RF performance, low power consumption, and highest sensitivity that allows the detection of even the smallest movements invisible to the human eye.

Small, accurate, precise: radar sensing solutions from Infineon

With Infineon¡¯s 24 GHz and 60 GHz radar portfolio, a wide range of applications can be covered. For instance, motion detection triggering systems such lighting solutions, automatic doors, camera and security systems, or smart home devices can be developed with Infineon¡¯s radar sensor solutions.

In contrast to other motion detection technologies like PIR, radar technology offers significant advantages. These include smaller system sizes, greater accuracy, and more precise measurements of detected objects. For example, using 24 GHz radar sensors for drones improves soft landing and obstacle avoidance. Additionally, IoT radar sensors can also determine the direction of a moving object, speed of an object, distance and, depending on the antenna configuration, even the position of a moving object.

Comparing 24 GHz and 60 GHz radar technology

24 GHz radar sensors have lower free space attenuation, which makes them ideally suited for outdoor and long detection range applications. Also, the antennas are not integrated in the package, which leaves the freedom to design the antenna pattern and thus the radiation pattern. In contrast, many of Infineon's XENSIV? 60 GHz radar sensors utilize Antennas-in-Package (AIP) technology, which allows for the construction of much smaller radar systems and eliminates the task of RF design.

For 24 GHz radar sensors, the bandwidth for FMCW radar operations covers 250 MHz within the regulated ISM band. In the 60 GHz regime, an unlicensed ultra-wideband of up to 7 GHz can be used for short-range radar applications. Consequently, 60 GHz FMCW IoT radar systems can offer a better range resolution and therefore are perfectly suited for advanced sensing use cases. These include precise segmentation and seamless tracking, level sensing, gesture sensing, material classification, or the monitoring of vital functions (respiration rate and heartbeat).

Infineon XENSIV? radar sensor for industrial and consumer applications

Infineon's XENSIV? radar sensors for IoT & Consumer are designed to meet the needs of both industrial and consumer markets, including smart home applications.

A notable example of their success is the integration of the BGT60TR13C 60 GHz radar sensor in the Google Pixel 4 smartphone, Google Nest Thermostat as well as Google Nest Hub.

Another success story is the integration of the BGT60LTR11AIP 60 GHz radar sensor in the Samsung Frame Smart TV, which showcases the versatility and innovative capabilities of Infineon's radar technology.

They have also been successfully deployed in a range of consumer electronics, such as air conditioners and thermostats, bike radar systems, and sleep monitoring devices that leverage radar technology.

In the industrial sector, XENSIV? radar sensors are also making a significant impact, with applications in:
