Radar sensor Forum Discussions
We are excited to announce the release of Radar Development Kit 3.5.1, which is now available for download from the Infineon Developer Center.
This release introduces a range of new features, improvements, and fixes, and includes the following components:
- Radar SDK v3.5.0
- Radar Fusion GUI v3.5.4
- ifxdaq v4.0.0
- RBB Firmware v2.6.0
Please see below for details on the new features and changes in this release.
New Features:
Radar SDK v3.5.0
- General API for Controlling FMCW Radar Devices
Radar SDK 3.5 introduces a new and versatile general API for controlling FMCW radar devices. The API can accommodate all FMCW-based radar sensors, and it includes a new configuration structure that supports multiple chirp configurations within a single frame. - Revised Continuous Wave API
The Continuous Wave API has been revised and is now structured similarly to the FMCW API. To create a Continuous Wave instance, it is no longer necessary to create a device instance and pass it as a parameter. The function call of ifx_cw_create returns a Continuous Wave instance, and the configurations for the ADC and baseband have also been restructured. The previous configuration (ifx_Avian_Config_t) no longer exists.
Radar Fusion GUI v3.5.4
- Support for BGT60UTR11AIP FMCW 60GHz Sensor
Radar Fusion GUI now supports the BGT66UTR11AIP FMCW 60GHz sensor. This includes sensor configuration, raw ADC data acquisition, and presence sensing application. - Expert Mode
An Expert Mode has been introduced for 60GHz FMCW sensors in the Radar Fusion GUI. This mode includes a Timing Model view for the given frame configuration, multiple chirp configurations within a frame, a Difference Deviation plot designed to characterize inter-chirp performance, and a power consumption value display at the status bar for Avian sensors. - Dummy Sensor Support
Dummy sensor support is now available for compatible sensors. Users can experiment with sensor configurations and import/export these configurations to the register file, and visualization of timing and power modes for configured chirps. - Recording of Raw ADC Data
The recording of raw ADC data format now standardizes to the ifxdaq recording format for FMCW 60GHz Sensors. Raw data is stored in standard .npy format, and meta-data and sensor configs are stored in a separate JSON format. The GUI offers playback of legacy recordings, but any recording from the GUI will be in the new format. A converter in the Recording menu is available to convert legacy recordings to the new format. - Register Export and Import
Register export and import options have been included for FMCW devices. - Presence Sensing App Upgrade
The presence sensing app has undergone an upgrade with a more robust algorithm. New additions include a separate visualization dedicated to presence sensing, and display of the range of strongest targets alongside presence information. - Range Spectrogram and Doppler Spectrogram Plots
New range spectrogram and Doppler spectrogram plots have been added. - Clipping Detection
A display indicating clipping detection has been integrated into the status bar. This alert will trigger if the ADC time domain signal exceeds the limits of [-1, +1].
Changes:
- The convention for displaying approaching targets on the positive side of the velocity axis of the range Doppler map has been aligned.
- The range and angle measurement algorithm has been enhanced to achieve detection ranges of over 10 meters.
- Simultaneous visualization of multiple Rx antennas has been added to the Range Doppler Map plot.
- Fix the import of registers in a dummy device mode (reported in v3.5.3)
- Fix the allowed RF frequency range for supported FMCW sensors (reported in v3.5.3)
Thank you for choosing Radar Development Kit!
Show LessDear Customer,
we are happy to announce you the launch of our next generation of XENSIV™ Radar 24GHz DEMO kits with Sense2GoL Pulse and Distance2GoL.
Following the said launch, please be informed that these XENSIV™ Radar 24GHz demo kits are therefore discontinued: Sense2Go, Sense2GoL, Distance2Go and Position2Go.
We are transferring our support capabilities towards the new kits. For the discontinued kits, we will reduce and eventually stop our support including telephone, chat, community support forum, or e-mail inquiries. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Please find all needed information on all our 24GHz radar products and kits on www.infineon.com/24ghz.
Sincerely,
Your Infineon team
Greetings devs and community members,
I'm in the process of developing a compact radar sensor that involves connecting 4 independent #BGT60TR13c sensors to a single MCU (#STM32H7). The schematic design can be found in the attached image, where each radar sensor is connected to independent SPI and GPIO ports
Individually setting and reading registers for a single sensor poses no issues. However, a problem arises when attempting to read data from all 4 sensors in series. The reading of registers is incomplete, leading to a halt in sensor processing.
I'm reaching out for assistance in resolving this situation. How can I successfully read data from all 4 sensors using a single MCU? Additionally, I would appreciate feedback on whether my schematics are sound.
Thank you all for your valuable support.

Hello,
I have been looking on forums, if there is some sort of example code for ESP32 or STM of some sort for the BGT60TR13C?.
Have there in the meantime been worked on some examples ?
Best Regards.
Are you interested in developing motion detection and sensing applications? We've got some exciting news for you!
A community code example has been recently published, showcasing how to interact with Infineon's S2GO RADAR BGT60LTR11 board through SPI, using Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ and PSoC™ 6-BLE Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-WIFI-BT).
This code example is a definitive guide on how to detect target motion and direction, along with raw internal ADC readings. It provides valuable insights into the functionalities of the S2GO RADAR BGT60LTR11 board and offers guidance to those interested in exploring its full potential.
To access this code example, please follow this download link: https://github.com/Infineon/cce-mtb-psoc6-bgt60ltr11-spi-interface
We hope this code example inspires you to dive into the world of motion detection and sensing applications. Happy coding!
Show LessI am currently attempting to interface the Shield2go BGT60LTR11AIP radar sensor with the XMC 7000 using SPI communication. I am following the REF_BGT60LTR11AIP_M0 example code, which is developed in Dave IDE. However, Dave IDE does not support XMC7200, so I am developing a project using Modus Toolbox and migrating the example code from Dave IDE. The drivers used in Dave IDE are provided as precompiled libraries (.a files), and I am encountering difficulty in using and debugging them since the source files are not in a readable form. Are there any alternative drivers available for the mentioned radar sensor, or is there another example that I can use?
Show LessBGT60LTR11可以用来测距吗?具体应用怎么实现,有没有参考demo程序和电路?可用带宽是多少,官网资料说是61~61.5G
I flashed esp-example-rader.bin provided from this blog below.
Instead of using the wing board, I am using TXB0108 shifter to bridge between the radar and the Esp32 Feather v2 board. After checking all the connections, I used `idf.py build` and `idf.py flash` command to build and flash the files.
However, I am getting an error receiving fifo data. I have not changed any code from esp32-example-radar-presence code.
Do you know what might cause this problem?
Hello,
I am using the KIT_CSK_BGT60TR13C Radar and i want to have an 2D output (range map, doppler map) as it is possible to do it with the Radar fusion GUI for the DEMO BGT60TR13C. It is possible to do that ? If yes how can i do it ?
Thank you
Show LessDear. I am a fan of Infineon site. I'm going to design FMCW human detection radar using BGT24MTR12, but the microwave design is the most challenging. Help the RF design data of the P2G or D2G modules.
