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
I need to develop a vital monitoring system (Heart rate , Breath rate , Heart rate deviations) to sense the vital signs of the driver during the vehicle operation. I have seen a demo of "Remote vital signs monitoring using 24GHz sensor IC & AURIX™ MCU .
I have some queries regarding this product / demo :
- Can the system determine the vital signs of the driver accurately, in our use case where vehicle movement and vibrations are expected?
- Does the system provide output by on the board processing or by processing in the cloud?
- Can the firmware and source code be made available?
- How can the system be placed for accurate measurements?
- Can the system integrated to seat provide accurate results?
- Prediction accuracy
- Feasibility to modify the source code
- Software support from Infineon team
- Heart rate and breath rate prediction range
- Are there any products available for this application other than this product in the automotive segment?
Hi there
I was advised by the support team to ask my question here
Is there anything prohibiting me using the Demo Distance2GoL board in my proprietary product?
Thanks
Taylor
Show LessHello Infineon Team,
Greetings!!!
I am use the bgt60tr13c sensor board for the object detection.
I have some question regarding this sensor board.
As this board can connect with the multiple board to get the desire output as the Arduino code is given on the github.
So for performing this code I want to connect bgt60tr13c board with ardunio uno board.
So can you please help me out to find the connection between Arduino uno and bgt60tr13c board?
Thanks & Regards,
Urvisha Andani
Show LessHello,
I am use the bgt60tr13c sensor board for the object detection.
I want to use bgt60tr13c radar sensor in my project.
My project application is to connect the multiple sensor with the MCU and also I want to connect this radar sensor for the object detection.
So can you please help me out that how can I connect this board with MCU and do the object detection using this?
As I am use the arduino board in my project.
Please provide the solution for this.
Show LessHello community,
We are currently working on a platform sensor project that incorporates multiple BGT60TR13C sensors with one microcontroller. We have successfully implemented a method to activate each shield individually within the platform sensor, which ensures sequential reading of the BGT60TR13C sensors without any cross-talk interference.
However, I have a question regarding a different scenario. If I were to place multiple independent platform sensors of the same type in the same workspace, would they potentially interfere with each other? These platform sensors would have the same firmware, operating frequency, and identical characteristics, yet they would be completely independent from one another.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences related to this matter.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Show LessI am looking for a sensor/application example that can get human vital sign
even if they behind walls
is there such an application example? or a sutible radar sensor?

HI,
As I was browsing the web(https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/sensor/radar-sensors/radar-sensors-for-iot/60ghz-radar/bgt60tr13c/),I noticed that on the BGT60TR13C interface that the radar has a "a very low range resolution down to ~3cm can be offered" and that it "allows detection of movements down to sub-millimeter". I didn't understand whether the two sentences conflicted.
When I use the "static distance.py" demo to measure the movement of the object, the distance between two frames can only change to 2.3cm at the minimum. I have no idea that is it because of my operation error, or is the minimum distance change of 2.3cm that the radar can only identify the object moving in the same direction?
In addition, can BGT60TR13C realize the signal detection of vital signs? If not, how soon will we be able to use the vital signs demo?
Looking forward to your reply
Hi all
I have a question pertaining to changing the software settings of the D2GL Seonsor
I am trying to modify the settings of the D2GL board, like you can in the Radar GUI Application. However I'd like the changes to be permanent, like the "make persistent option" in the GUI. However after clicking the make persistent button I run the "D2GL_basics.c" and the output shows the changes are not permanent
So I try to edit the D2GL_SC_FMCW source code in dave, modifying the Config.h file parameters
However upon building the code it gives me an error of:
fatal error: ./xmc4000/usbd_endpoint_stream_xmc4000.h: No such file or directory endpoint_stream.h
My Questions:
1) Where can I find this file to complete the compilation
2) How can I get a .hex file from this code
3) Is this the best way to modify and make permanent the changes to the FW
I've attached the screen shot of DAVE for some context
Thanks Very Much
Taylor
