Infineon launches next-generation highly integrated XENSIV™ 60GHz CMOS radar for low-power IoT solutions

Infineon Technologies launched its next-generation, highly integrated 60GHz CMOS radar sensor. Targeting ultra-low power IoT solutions, the Infineon XENSIV™ BGT60CUTR13AIP aims to become a key sensor for Physical AI to increase the intelligence of smart home and IoT devices. The new radar sensor is fully supported by Infineon hardware and software, third-party modules, and transferable FCC certification to aid fast-time-to-market.

The new XENSIV 60GHz CMOS radar family includes on-chip processing powered by a hardware accelerator providing customers the flexibility to access either raw or pre-processed data. By handling radar processing on-chip Infineon’s solution offloads the host processor and supports a more efficient system architecture enabling smaller form factors and cost-efficiency. Thanks to an integrated bootloader, the XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP is able to run fully autonomous ultra-low power presence detection to wake-up the host, only if required.

With up to 7GHz bandwidth and 11dBm output power, Infineon’s XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP achieves excellent resolution to detect both moving and static targets at an extended range with up to 20m. The cost- and footprint-optimized antenna in package (AIP) design features one transmit (Tx) and three receive (Rx) channels to enable up to 150° field of view covering both dimensions azimuth and elevation. Thus, the new XENSIV 60GHz CMOS radar sensor enables Physical AI applications to become more intelligent and allow for more natural and intuitive interactions with users, targeting applications such as security cameras, smart thermostats, smart TVs, and HVAC systems (more info).
