DEMODISTANCE2GOLTOBO1

DEMODISTANCE2GOLTOBO1 is a Distance2GoL radar system demo platform for Infineon’s 24GHz BGT24LTR11 radar transceiver. The Distance2GoL consists of two boards – the microcontroller board with the XMC4700 (RADAR BB XMC4700) and a radar frontend board (BGT24LTR11 Shield), which features a 4x1 array antenna for the transmitter and receiver sections. It is shielded with a metal cover and absorber material to get the best RF performance. The heart of the Distance2GoL module is the highly integrated BGT24LTR11 MMIC, which is radar transceiver operating from 24 to 24.25GHz. In order to keep the output frequency within this ISM band, this demo board features a software-based closed loop. Such an implementation eliminates the need for an external hardware PLL and makes it a low cost and low powers solution. Suitable for Lighting systems & lighting control (Indoor & Outdoor), smart buildings, smart home devices, smart home security systems, smart sanitary facilities, automated door openers.

• User configurable detection range up to 15m for a human target
• Detects distance and velocity of closest human or a moving target
• Low power consumption due to duty cycling options
• Compatible with Arduino for ease of use and prototyping
• Micro-strip patch antennas with 10dBi gain and 29°/80° field of view
• Software-controlled FMCW for power saving, reduced costs and less PCB space
• Smart algorithm enables reliable one-dimensional tracking of a human target
• Operates in harsh environments and detects through non-metallic materials
• Compliant with FCC & ETSI regulations
