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 just bought this KIT_CSK_BGT60TR13C // XENSIV™ KIT CSK BGT60TR13C.
Do you have GUI to open and record this kit ?
Therefore, I couldn`t find the GUI of this which difficult to use and also it has an error when I am using MODUS
"Error: It looks like your debug probe is in DAPLink mode. Please switch to KitProg3 mode or use CMSIS-DAP driver instead"
What it`s mean of this ? can you help to solve?
Thank you
Show LessI am changing no. of samples per chirps while extracting raw data from position2go using MATLAB but it is not doing so in actual it always takes reading with default parameters. kindly help me in changing that
Show LessHello have a nice day...
I downloaded 2 different products in Infineon developer center. These are Radar sense2GoL Pulse and Radar Distance2GoL. but the files I downloaded are the same.So can you send me the distance2Go files?
Thank you.
Respects.
This paragraph is in DEMO POSITION2GO software guide - XENSIV™ 24GHz radar, page 31 of this document, I do not understand the meaning of considering not radar calibration but set the minimum distance to 0.9m, I am using the radar in hot weather, also do not need to radar calibration, and why to set the The minimum distance is set to 0.9m.
Show LessHello Team,
I am trying to perform gesture recognition using Radar Demo BGT60LTR11AIP Board.
As I understand, the sensor is doppler and the board by default communicates through SPI.
I collected data through Radar Fusion GUI.
Kindly, tell me the post processing I need to do before running a CNN on it.
1. FFT (Correct me If I am wrong)
2. Hilbert ( I am not very sure. Since, the sensor already gives complex data, should I do Hilbert or not)
Kindly help.
A Million Thanks!
Hello everyone,
We are working on generating PCs using the raw data. I have two questions in this regard. Is there any available code or firmware for this purpose? If not, which radar do you suggest for making 3d point clouds?
Thanks in advance.
Show LessHi everyone,
I have two Demoposition2Go boards and I would like to trigger the ramp from an external pulse (clock) signal. Is it possible?
Thank's in advance

Show LessHello everyone.
I want to use mm-wave radar for vital signs detection. But I have a few questions.
1. I want to know which radar you recommend. I noticed BGT60TR13C is advertised for this application. But, I am afraid it does not work well due to not having an IQ demodulation.
2. Is there any package, code, or GUI available for this application? I saw videos, but I had a hard time finding the mentioned directories, and it was not clear if anything existed for vital sign detection.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I am asking a question about running the D2GL_Basics app on a debian linux device (specifically prototyping on a raspberry pi 4)
I downloaded all the files from the infineon site, used cmake, then made small changes to the d2gl_basics.c file to allow it to run on linux. specifically, this involved:
1) removing "#include <windows.h>
2)adding both "#include <string.h>" and "#include <unistd.h>"
3) changing instances of the word "boolean" to "bool"
4) changing instances of "Sleep" to "sleep" (lower case "s")
from there i was able to execute "make"
however, whenever I run ./d2gl_basics in the command line, the output seems to stop after "---fmcw: get parameter definition".
The output is stuck as if in an infinite loop. I've attached a screen shot of where it gets stuck (although this screen shot was reproduced on a windows machine)
LED's D9 shows green blue and red (indicating correct sensor readings) and LED D5 is solid yellow
Is anyone familiar with using the d2gl on linux and know about this issue?
SIDE NOTE: I am getting low voltage warnings from the raspberry pi when i plug in the sensor, and am wondering if this may be an issue
Many thanks
Taylor
Here is where it would get stuck...
Show LessI am using BGT60TR13C Radar. Is developing a presence detection application other than Infinion or cypress MCU possible? They are providing an application on Infineon or cypress MCU platform.. I went through their project but those are compiled code and can not port in other MCU. am I missing something or is there another way to do this? I want to use ESP32 as MCU.
I found one git repo for this but can not able to compile on my PC. https://github.com/nepaldigitalsystems/sensor-xensiv-bgt60trxx_esp32.git
