Presence detection
High performance turnkey sensing solution powered by 60 GHz radar - high accuracy in detecting micro / macro motions
Infineon’s radar presence detection solution enables your application to detect human presence within a configured distance. Powered by our XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar with its sophisticated radar presence detection embedded software, the solution provides exceptionally 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 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 your application reacts to customers' needs.
Gain market and technology advantage for your application with Infineon’s high performance tested and qualified presence detection solution.
Applications
- Smart Home – reading lamp, smart toilet, lighting, smart thermostat, smart appliances display
- Smart TV
- Notebook, PC, monitor
- Smart speaker
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.
The presence detection solution, based on XENSIV™ 60GHz BGT60TR13C radar brings the following features and benefits to your application:
