In-Cabin Monitoring System (ICMS)

Technology advancements are propelling the need for sensors in advanced driver assistance systems, vehicle automation, vehicle connectivity, and new mobility services.

With highly automated drive levels not only the exterior assistance systems are enhancing but also the interior of the vehicles are reshaping themselves to provide a holistic in-vehicle experience.

In-Cabin Monitoring System (ICMS) can include several sub-systems like:

• Driver Monitoring System (DMS)
• Occupant Monitoring System (OMS)

and deepening on the system architecture, these sub-systems might be standalone systems with independent sensors and processing units or have a centralized processing unit.

Infineon’s BGT60ATR24C has been designed for ultra-short range applications with best-in-class jitter performance, ultra-low power consumption, wideband operation and robustness. XENSIV™ BGT60ATR24C is a fully integrated radar transceiver operating in the frequency band from 58 to 62 GHz.
It is a state-of-the-art radar chip featuring 2 transmit channels, 4 receive channels, a low noise Phase Locked Loop (PLL), an integrated anti-aliasing Loop Filter (LF), sequencer and finite state machine for ramp generation, integrated RX baseband including Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC), sensor ADCs for temperature and power monitoring – all within a single chip. The digitized time signals are forwarded via the SPI interface to the application controller, where they are being processed further.
