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
Hello,
i was wondering what the "10km/h" behind the PRT of 250us in the Document "User's guide to BGT60LTR11AIP" under 3.2.10 means.
The max unambiguous speed should be 36km/h or 10m/s (following the formula v=(λ/PRF)/2).
So is it simply a typo, or is it the minimal measureable speed? The optimal speed?
Greetings,

I could not find the BGT60TR13C device or the port on the device manager after i hooked it up to the windows PC!
Even if i run the Firmware to run it, the device would not be found!
can anybody tell me how i can solve this problem.
Show LessHi, how to switch the SPI of BGT60TR13C Radar Sensor to high-speed mode? I have set MISO_HS_RD to 1, and the MCU's SPI clock is 48M, but there is no data. How to correctly enable the high-speed mode for the radar module's SPI? Is it limited to only 50M, or can other frequencies be used (such as above 25M as high-speed mode)?
Thank you, Sam.
Thank you, Sam.

Show LessHello,
i have a few problems understanding the connection between the adc settings and number of samples.
I use the Radar Baseboard MCU7 with the BGT60TR13C.
Question 1:
When i use the Radar Fusion GUI, i can set the ADC sampling rate from 500kHz to 2500kHz.
When i configure the ADC in python, i can change the sampling rate from 78kHz up to 4000kHz.
Why is it different?
In addition, when i set the sample and hold time, additional subconversions and oversampling factor to maximum in both applications, i also get different sampling rates (500kHz vs. 96kHz) [See Attachment 2 and 3]
Question 2:
I want to take measurements of 5 seconds. How can i do that?
As far as i understand, in the CW mode: You can only get frames of up to 4094 datapoints per frame in python. But when i take multiple measures (multiple get_frame calls) and merge those frames, it is not realy a a continuous signal, but instead there are pauses between the frames.
Is that a correct understanding?
If so, how can i take longer continous measurements?
With best regard,
Kajan09

Hi all,
I am trying to build a project but when i opening IDE and going to new and from new ModusToolbox i am getting.and my file path there is no lcs file. How to resolve that issue.
Below attached Snipped for reference.

I am working with the Demo Sense2GoL Make radar. I have tried the Radar GUI (Legacy) with this radar, and the GUI does not seem to recognize the device. That is to say that I am connected to the microcontroller, and the GUI does not recognize the microcontroller.
the Legacy Radar GUI does not indicate that it supports the Demo Sense2GoL Make. Is the legacy radar GUI supposed to support the Sense2GoL Make, or is there a different Radar GUI that does support the Sense2GoL Make?
I have bought a 24GHz radar demo board DISTANCE2GOL from your company. And when I try to install the software according to your manual:24 GHz radar tools and development environment, I met some questions:
I have try some versions of the IDC(2023.9.0/6.0/2.0) on my MacOS and Windows computer, but there is no Radar Distance2GoL in “Manage Tools”.
Where can I find this software?
