REF_BGT60LTR11AIP_M0 Getting started with the XENSIV™ 60GHz BGT60LTR11AIP radar SPI M0 reference board
This BGT60LTR11AIP radar Cortex®-M0 reference board features Infineon’s 60GHz XENSIV™ radar sensor BGT60LTR11AIP (configured in SPI mode) with an XMC1302 Arm® Cortex®-M0 based microcontroller. It allows users to discover the BGT60LTR11AIP and to develop their Radar-based application running on low-power Cortex®-M0 based MCU.
The BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC is a fully integrated microwave motion sensor including Antennas in Package (AIP). An integrated frequency divider with a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) provides VCO frequency stabilization. These features make the small-sized radar solution a compelling, smart, and cost-effective replacement for conventional passive infrared (PIR) sensors in low-power or battery-powered applications. The MMIC is designed to operate as a Doppler motion sensor in the 60GHz ISM-band.
