Mouser Electronics stocks the BGT60ATR24C from Infineon Technologies, an integrated radar transceiver operating in the 58 GHz to 62 GHz frequency band.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors, announced today that it is now stocking the BGT60ATR24C XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar monolithic microwave IC (MMIC) from Infineon Technologies.

Utilizing ultra-wideband FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave) operation, the BGT60ATR24C can visually detect even the slightest movement, enabling a variety of passive safety applications such as child detection, driver monitoring, and passenger occupancy detection.

Designed for ultra-short-range applications, the BGT60ATR24C features best-in-class jitter performance, ultra-low power consumption, wideband operation, and robustness, making it ideal for in-cabin monitoring systems in vehicles.

This MMIC has two transmit channels and four receive channels, a low-noise phase locked loop (PLL), an integrated anti-aliasing loop filter (LF), a finite state machine (FSM) for the sequencer and ramp generator, and an ADC (aIt is a state-of-the-art radar chip that integrates an integrated receiving baseband with analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and a sensor ADC for temperature and power monitoring, all on a single chip.

The digitized time signals can be transmitted to an application controller via an SPI interface for further processing. The BGT60ATR24C also features a digital interface for sensor configuration and data acquisition, as well as an integrated state machine for independent data acquisition. Furthermore, this radar MMIC supports a power mode optimized for low power consumption.

The BGT60ATR24C XENSIV 60GHz radar MMIC is supported by the SHIELD_60ATR24ES_01 demo board. The SHIELD_60ATR24ES_01 features the BGT60ATR24C in a pre-mounted 6mm x 6mm package, along with support circuitry and an onboard L-shaped antenna. This demo board enables prototyping for a variety of use cases, including presence detection, proximity detection, people counting and tracking, gesture recognition, and vital signs monitoring.
