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 the BGT60TR13C for vital sign extraction and I saw in other questions in the forum that the BGT60TR13C only outputs the I signal of the radar.
I tried to use the progression of each complex frequency component over time (chirp-to-chirp) as an IQ signal for each frequency component, as you suggested. But it is not working and I cannot extract meaningful information. For comparison, I did manage to extract specifically respiration rate using only the amplitude data in the output.
I would like your help to better understand how to extract phase from the output data and detect small vibrations.
Thank you!

I plan to use the position2go raw data extracted by matlab, and use the provided extract_raw_data.m code to extract a 256*2*16 data, which should contain IFQ1, IFQX1, IFI1, IFIX1, IFQ2, IFQX2, IFI2, IFIX2, So how do you know how the obtained data is combined?
Show LessI notice that distance2GoL is designed for low-power via duty-cycle frame. But I don't need low-power and I need the radar to tranmit and receive data for all the frame. I mean, I don't hope Frame_off time, when the radar stop working. I also want to make the EIRP of tx power bigger. Could you please tell me how to modify the firmware.
Show LessI want to cascade two radars and let them transmit signals at each other's Frame_off time, so as to achieve the purpose of working on the whole Frame. Could you please give me some suggestions on how to modify the firmware and how to do it?

Hello,
Currently need to use BGT60TR13C in ubuntu 20.04, but the 2023.6.0.deb version can't be installed, after successfully installing the 2023.2.0 and 2023.1.1 versions, I can't find the RDK installation file, and the software can't be updated as shown in the picture, I look forward to your reply, thanks!

Show LessHello everyone.
I'm using the BGT60LTR11AIP and need to get raw data from it rather than on the GUI. Can someone please help me in this?

Show LessHello,
Right now I am working on a project related to a robotic arm using the BGT60TR13C radar evaluation board, and the current requirement is to feed the radar data to the robotic arm so that it can adjust its motion trajectory based on the data, and the robotic arm is currently controlled by ROS. So please let me know if I need an MCU to solve the above problem and if there is a more recommended MCU model, thanks for the answer!

Show LessI am currently interested in building a radar system using Infineon's BGT24ATR11, and I'm seeking your expert guidance and support for my project. Is there any starter guide or basic tutorial that I can refer to for building a radar system using BGT24ATR11? What software and hardware tools are recommended for developing with this chip? Are there any development kits available specifically for radar applications? Are there any code samples or libraries available that could assist me in my development process? Thank you!

Show Lessich habe ein Projekt mit dem Sensor BGT60TR13C , vorbei ich die App Radar Fusion Gui verwendeln muss ,aber die konfiguration feht nicht sogar die Einstellugen . wie funktioniert auch Radar Fusion Gui ,machmal bekomme ich Signal von Jemandem ,obwohl niemand in der Nähe steht
Show Lesshey
I already know the order of the original data through the last question. I got a Txt file from radar fusion GUI and divided it into three different RX data (rx1, rx2, and rx3 data from left to right on the Matlab image).
I want to know why the image I got is not as same as the GUI (recorded).
looking forward to your reply!
