MEMS microphones
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphones. Our high performance microphones can be used in a variety of application such as earbuds, headphones, smartphones or laptops for high quality audio pickup.
Pressure Sensors
Our XENSIV™ family of digital absolute barometric pressure sensors gives designers the best choice when it comes to mobile and wearable devices. Highlights include small form factors to facilitate system integration, highest precision and relative accuracy over a wide temperature range, fast read-out speeds via the serial I2C/SPI interface, and low power consumption to ensure longer battery lifetimes. All of our air sensing solutions have a FIFO buffer that can store the last 32 measurements. Since the host processor can remain in sleep mode for a longer period between readouts, the FIFO buffer can reduce system power consumption further.
Speed (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Speed sensors. This sensor family is based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR) or hall-based technologies in order to determine linear and rotational speed. Our Speed sensors can be used with ferromagnetic gear tooth wheels or encoders to measure speed and position and they are essential components for the function of safety and powertrain applications like rotating shafts. Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, documents and FAQs.

Hello,
I am currently using the demo "bgt60tr13c," and when I ran the example code "range-angle-map.py," I noticed that the map displays random noise (please refer to the attached screenshot) when there is no object in front of the radar. However, when an object is placed in front of the radar, the noise disappears. Could you please explain the reason for this behaviour and suggest a solution to resolve it?

Hello, the team has recently been evaluating the BGT60TR13C chip. After completing the chip configuration according to the initialization register generated by the Radar Fusion GUI tool, the chip cannot start. I would like to ask if other registers need to be configured to start the chip after completing the initialization register configuration.
Also, I would like to obtain the complete register data sheet for the BGT60TR13C to provide configuration reference.
Look forward to hearing from you, thank you Email: zhanghuatong_xdl@163.com
Show Lessin the driver sensor-xensiv-dps3xx-master.zip (downloaded from https://github.com/Infineon/sensor-xensiv-dps3xx), there are two files with license texts (LICENSE & EULA).
Which of the two license text is the current one? Where can I request this information?
Thank you very much
Thomas
Plz give steps to compile this
D:\IFX_D2GL-HW-SW_V1.0.0\Firmware_Software\Communication Library\ComLib_C_Interface\examples\D2GL_basics
I am trying to compile this to get raw data but some errors are coming , I included library also but I don't know why.
thank you
Show LessI have extracted the raw data but do not know how to analyze them. So where i can see the Protocol of raw data
Problem description:OSError: /usr/..libradar_sdk.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (PS:full context in the end)
Problem generated from: I try to config this radar to collect data by running python script on a Raspberry Pi 4B, but this error came out, I tried solutions all failed including:
1.add working path or lib path folder to ~/.bashrc or LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/profile or /etc/ld.so.conf; even just copy the lib file to PATH like /usr/lib etc; meanwhlie I am pretty sure this .so file is in right path and it does exists. And the error is always the same: No such file or directory.
2.change newer verison raspberry pi operating system; use the libradar_sdk.so in linux_raspi(32bit) in official sdk and cmd info says error ELF32bit meaning the .so file was not correponding to the OS bits.
3.change libradar_sdk.so to libsdk_avian.so, use the latest sdk's counterparts(linux_x64)
4.I previously used the same python scripts on windows 10, and it can work very well even can work in win11 on raspberry4B. The only difference is in Avian.py it depends on libradar_sdk.dll instead of libradar_sdk.so. And as the problem mentioned before, it just can not find this .so file.
Here's my develop situation:
Radar device:BGT60ATR24C
radar_sdk version:3.3.0 (latest 3.5.1)
firstly pip installed: ifxAvian-3.3.0-py3-none-any.whl
related sdk python scripts: main.py(just init_radar and get_frame very simple codes) Avian.py Common.py
the OS version: linux raspberry pi 5.10.63 aarch64(python 3.9.2 built-in)

Environment description:
- STM32G0B1RET6 (64MHz bus) I2C1, 400kHz fast mode, configured for DMA communication, calls and configuration functions are all HAL libraries
- There are 3 TLV493D-A2BW sensors on the I2C1 bus. The 3 PMOS controls the VDD and 3.3 V connections respectively (the PMOS switch test is valid)
- The I2C1 bus SCL and SDA have 1.2kΩ pull-up resistors. The pull-up 3.3V is always present, and SCL and SDA do not have matching resistors to connect to the terminals
- The INT pins of the three TLV493D-A2BW sensors are each connected to the MCU's IO (input mode)
The hardware connection has been checked and there are no problems
Problem:
At the time of testing, the initial state was only one of the PMOS enabled to power up a TLV493D-A2BW. It felt like there was no response to ACK. After sending a written command for the first time, it returned HAL_BUSY

Can someone kindly explain in steps how can i extract raw data on MATLAB using Position2Go Board to plot the range doppler graph?
I have Distance2GoL XENSIV™ 24 GHz low-power radar shield BGT24LTR11
In Radar GUI I am getting output and also converting it to .txt file while recording.
but how to get data directly from the serial port.
I am trying to take data without using radar GUI instead I need data directly from the Serial port
and another question is :
can I use this Distance2GoL XENSIV™ 24 GHz low-power radar shield BGT24LTR11 with Arduino IDE
