RFbeam adopts Infineon industrial radar chip in single transceiver module
Published2016.11.29 11:00Infineon Technologies (Korea CEO Lee Seung-soo) and RFbeam Microwave announced that they provide the industry's smallest and lowest power-consuming Tx/Rx modules.
RFbeam's new 24GHz system module adopts Infineon's 24GHz radar sensors BGT24LTR11 and BGT24MR2. This module provides a plug-and-play solution for OEM manufacturers that require human motion detection or speed/distance measurement capabilities.
This module can be used for advanced motion detection, speed, direction, and distance measurement. For example, motion or presence detection capabilities can be integrated into digital signage. For traffic applications, this radar system can be used for road work, red light management for speed detection, and vehicle classification at tollgates or parking lots.
By combining the technical characteristics of Infineon's industry-leading smallest 24GHz industrial MMIC and RFbeam modules, product time-to-market can be shortened. Furthermore, the effort and cost required for developing complex algorithms can be minimized.
RFbeam's module products offer solutions with or without signal processing integrated with antennas. Therefore, industrial radar system manufacturers can optimize their systems according to their needs. If necessary, the speed and direction of motion (approaching or receding) can be detected, or motion detection alone can be performed more easily. Currently, RFbeam offers three module products with various antenna characteristics, MCU signal processing options, and different operation modes (Doppler, FMCW (frequency modulated), FSK (frequency shift keying)).
The K-LD2 module adopts Infineon's radar chip BGT24LTR11. The K-LD2 is the industry's smallest (25mm x 25mm) radar transceiver that integrates signal processing and provides an 80° x 34° antenna pattern. This module product can be used for various applications requiring indoor/outdoor motion detection.
The K-MD2 module adopts Infineon's BGT24MR2 twin receiver MMIC. It enables speed, distance, and angle measurement and provides digital output. Additionally, by integrating range-Doppler processing, it is suitable for use in high-end traffic applications. This module product provides a reliable and robust solution required for applications demanding precise object detection measurement.
Infineon's 24GHz transceiver MMIC radar sensors BGT24LTR11 and BGT24MR2 include a low phase noise VCO (voltage controlled oscillator), temperature compensation circuits for VCO stabilization, and ESD protection circuits.
