Infineon's Ultra-low Power 60 GHz Doppler Radar Sensor includes Packaged Antenna (AIP)

Infineon's Radar Shield2Go can be used independently as a plug-in radar sensor (for example, using an Arduino contour board or other microcontroller) to detect motion and direction of motion by using only two GPIOs (TD and PD) in autonomous mode (default). The board comes with two potentiometers and switches that allow easy mechanical adjustment of the radar's four QS signals. These switches can be used to switch between autonomous and SPI modes.

Shield2Go comes with slot to ensure multiple connection modes are available. It is recommended to mix Shield2Go series with Infineon's XMC Maker board series (e.g., XMC1100 Starter Kit, XMC1400 Arduino, XMC 2Go and XMC4700 Relax kits) or Arduino boards (e.g., Rev3 and MKR1000) together.BGT60LTR11AIP Shield2Go demonstrates the features of BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC and provides a plug and play radar solution for users.
