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,
Please let me know whicht type of the AIP structure of the BGT60ATR24AIP, BGT60TR13C and BGT60LTR11AIP.
I refer below document.

Hello,
I am trying to build the SDK using mingw32-make -f "Makefile". First I runcmake -G "MinGW Makefiles", which runs smoothly , but the second command mingw32-make -f "Makefile" is raising an error that you can see below.
I have installed mingw64 version 13.1.0
Cmake is also installed.
Do you know what could be the problem?
Thank you.
Show Lesscan you tell us that the code of python and c for presence sensing is same or not.
is there is any difference in algo or just language.
I'm using some info from this radar sdk (https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.ifxradarsdk) in a report and i was wondering how I should cite it?
Show LessI am using Position2go board along with L293d motor driver and Arduino Uno. I powered the Motor Driver with 14.8 V Battery and from Motor driver's 5V pin I powered Position2go board using its VCC_5V_EXT pin. Arduino uno was also being directly powered by Motor Driver. This connection fried the voltage regulator on Arduino Uno as well as made the Position2go board being undetected by Radar GUI and XMCFlasher (Also D8 indicator Light is not Blinking, showing that Radar Algorithm is not being run).
Show LessHi there!
I'd like to know the input capacitance of BGT24MTR11.
Actually, I'm trying to make PLL Block for operating BGT24MTR11, so it's necessary to design Loop filter.
Could you let me know input capacitance of BGT24MTR11(Especially, VCO input Capacitance)
I'll wait your help. thank you
Show Lesswe are AI4AFRICA team participating in tinyml hackathon 2023: Pedestrian detection. we have study the advantage of the radar sensor over other board and be the best for our solution ...I hope we get a response from you team soon
Show LessHello everyone. I am using the distance2go demo board V 1.1. I want to know if its possible to measure vital signs such as heart rate and breathing rate using the distance2go board. I am able to extract the raw I and Q data using the Matlab interface. My queries are as follows
1. What should be the minimum distance of subject from the board to measure vital signs as the minimum range detection is 50 cm?
2.How to process the I and Q signals to successfully measure vital signs?
Thank you.
Regards
Doha

can you tell me the full form of bgt60tr13c . 60 is for frequency range.tr13c for 1 transmitter and 3 receiver . what is the meaning of "bgt"
if I want to show 3d map of azimuthal and elevation angle with range using range angle map.py for bgt60tr13c demo board. then how can I do it...cn you tell me algorithm and details
