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
Hi,
I am using BGT60TR13C evaluation boards. I have 4 radars and write a single program in Linux to implement Segmentation Algorithm in each radar sequentially to have 360 degree environment.
When I set up only an obstacle in front of the first radar. The result should appear from only the 1st radar but all 4 radars show the same results.
Is it possible to implement segmentation algorithm in multiple radar as I do? Could anyone explain to me about this problem?
Thank you for your help!
Show LessHi, We would like to ask few questions about BGT60TR13c IoT dev kit:
1. We are trying to download the Radar Development Kit but we failed to download the last version 3.5.1. We have succeeded to download version 3.4.0 . but when we open it we only open a webpage of the Radar Development Kit.
We also have some issues connecting the BGT60TR13c to Radar Fusion GUI, and we tried to flash the bin file from C:\Infineon\Tools\Radar Fusion GUI
2. We also would like to ask if there is a way to get the data from each sensor separately?
3. Do you have example code for using Bluetooth over SYSBSYS-RP01 with the sensors?
Thank you!
Show LessHello, everybody
I need the human detection radar that maximum detection range is more than 200m.
Could you let me know the product like this
Thanks.

Show LessHi, I am currently developing a radar processing board with BGT60TR13C. Since the chip of atsams series are hard to buy in my region, I used the STM32H7 as an alternative. So my questions are:
1): Is the firmware of Radar Baseboard MCU7 capable of being ported to stm32 platform;
2): If it is achievable, what kinds of packages are required to be ported. I read the datasheet saying the HAL should be ported but I am puzzled to determine which packages are the HAL library in the given firmware files.
Show Lessin radar GUI is there any option or is there any method to do this :-
once I tune the chirp per samples etc.... and save and applied , is there any setting that can make it as like default until I reset the board
and when I connect the board to the PC and without opening the Rader GUI can I see the reading or data in the terminal or like by using Python code like the below code like using com port
import serial
# Configure the serial port
ser = serial.Serial('COM1', 9600) # Replace 'COM1' with your actual serial port and baud rate
# Open a text file for writing
output_file = open('radar_data.txt', 'w')
try:
while True:
# Read a line of data from the serial port
line = ser.readline().decode('utf-8')
try:
# Convert the line to a floating-point number
data = float(line.strip())
# Save the data to the text file
output_file.write(f"{data:.2f}\n") # Format data to two decimal places
output_file.flush() # Ensure data is written immediately
except ValueError:
print("Invalid data received:", line)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Data logging stopped.")
finally:
ser.close()
output_file.close()
for example :
if I upload the code to Arduino uno or another Arduino board it just needs a power supply to work it as per the uploaded code
like that only is there any way to do like that
Thankyou
Show LessHi
Is it possible to measure people's heartbeats using a 24 GHz distance2goL radar? Is it possible to do so, or is there any method to achieve this?
Show LessThe number of RX=1 configured in the GUI, why is the generated raw.bin file num_rx_antennas=2?
Hello,
I am currently using the demo "bgt60tr13c," and when I ran the example code "range-angle-map.py," I noticed that the map displays random noise (please refer to the attached screenshot) when there is no object in front of the radar. However, when an object is placed in front of the radar, the noise disappears. Could you please explain the reason for this behaviour and suggest a solution to resolve it?

Hello, the team has recently been evaluating the BGT60TR13C chip. After completing the chip configuration according to the initialization register generated by the Radar Fusion GUI tool, the chip cannot start. I would like to ask if other registers need to be configured to start the chip after completing the initialization register configuration.
Also, I would like to obtain the complete register data sheet for the BGT60TR13C to provide configuration reference.
Look forward to hearing from you, thank you Email: zhanghuatong_xdl@163.com
