About

High accuracy in detecting micro- and macro-motions

Infineon’s radar presence-detection solution is highly sensitive and senses micro-movements within a range of five meters and macro-motion within a range of ten meters. It offers unique benefits over conventional technologies deployed to detect human presence, such as PIR (passive infrared). The ability to detect micro-movements makes it perfect for intuitive user interaction with devices, as users no longer have to wave in front of sensors to ensure that the device reacts.

There are many applications for presence detection, such as smart homes with reading lamps, smart toilets, lighting, smart thermostats, smart appliances, smart TVs, notebooks, PCs, monitors, smart speakers and smart conference systems, robotics, and security systems.

Presence detection use case options

Whether you're looking for an individual product, a prototyping platform, or a system solution, Infineon and our partners have got you covered. Read about what we offer below:

Starting with what makes this all possible, the BGT60TR13C MMIC is a 60 GHz radar sensor with integrated antennas and comes with one transmitting and three receiving antennas. In the presence-detection application, BGT60TR13C enables human presence detection, tracking, and segmentation while providing extremely high accuracy in detecting micro- and macro-motions.

If you're more in the market for a rapid prototyping platform, check out our XENSIV™ KIT CSK, which is the go-to IoT sensors platform for IoT device development. It helps you create prototype ideas for new battery-powered IoT devices, and is based on the BGT60TR13C 60 GHz radar sensors.

Alternatively, if you're searching for a solution, our partners Arrow and Nisshinbo Microdevices offer the presence-detection solution evaluation kit and System-on-Module (SoM) based on our XENSIV™ BGT60TR13C radar.

NRJ4652 presence detection evaluation boards by Nisshinbo Microdevices

Infineon partner Nisshinbo Microdevices leverages the power of the XENSIV™ BGT60TR13C 60 GHz radar sensor and turnkey software to offer one of the world's smallest sensor modules. These devices, which have multiple antennas, can simultaneously collect both distance and position (angle) information to an object with high resolution. Currently, Nisshinbo offers two boards based on the application. Both boards feature all-in-one from antenna to signal processing, an IC-like package compatible with SMT, included application software, support for UART/USB/GPIO interfaces and a FOV ±45° in the V plane and  ±45° in the H plane. Specifically, the two boards are:

  • NJR4652F2S2EV is a 60 GHz millimeter wave smart entrance counter sensor, and features low power consumption for intermittent operation 40 mA at 3.6 V, a detection range 0 to 1.6 m, and if ceiling-mounted has a maximum height up to 3 m or if side-mounted has a maximum aisle width up to 3 m.
  • NJR4652F2S1EV is a 60 GHz millimeter wave presence detection sensor, and features low power consumption for intermittent operation 30 mA @3.6 V, and a maximum detection range for macro-motion of 10 m and micro-motion of 5 m.

MM5D91-00 presence detection evaluation kit by Jorjin Technologies

Jorjin has introduced the MM5D91-00 integrated mmWave radar sensor module based on the Infineon XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar chip. The module simplifies the implementation of mmWave sensors in the 61.0 GHz to 61.5 GHz band. In combination with the processor system based on the Arm® Cortex®-M4F 150 MHz, 1024 KB flash memory, and 288 KB RAM, 1 Tx/3 Rx antenna and on-board regulator, it features a UART interface and GPIO, uses 3.6 V to 5.5 V power input, and offers three key benefits: Compact size (20 x 15 x 2.3 mm), high resolution, and low power consumption.
