Presence detection
Gain market and technology advantage for your application with Infineon’s high performance turnkey presence detection solution
Infineon’s radar presence detection solution enables your application to detect human presence within a configured distance. Anything within a Smart Home and a Smart Building, from screens & displays, lighting to security devices can “see” that someone is close enough and can trigger an action. Powered by our XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar with its sophisticated radar presence detection embedded software, this solution provides extremely high accuracy in detecting both micro and macro motions.
Infineon’s radar presence detection solution is highly sensitive and senses micro and macro motion movements, within a range of max. 5 meters. It offers unique benefits over conventional technologies deployed to detect human presence, such as laser, but also newer ones like ultra-sonic or PIR passive infrared. Infineon presence detection reacts to human breathing (even if people are not moving). The ability to detect these micro-movements makes it perfect for intuitive user interaction with devices. It means that users no longer have to wave in front of sensors to make sure that your application reacts to customer’s needs.
Infineon’s solution is robust and can be used also outdoors. However, a wider detection range might be required for some outdoor applications. If you need a wider range, check out Infineon’s 24 GHz industrial radar solutions.

Form Factor Board – a ready to go product
Infineon’s radar presence detection Form Factor Board enables the detection of human presence within a configurable range. Micro-movement detection like typing in front of a Notebook and Macro-movement detection like walking inside a room can be detected. Our presence solution is certifiable for FCC certification. A key benefit is the small size of 2.0 x 1.5 cm which guarantees an easy installation. With its micro USB port, the Form Factor Board is simple to configure and gives the possibility to change various parameters like Standard- and Expert mode.
