Infineon sampling 60Ghz CMOS radar sensors for IoT

Infineon is sampling 60 GHz CMOS radar sensors for  ultra-low power IoT applications.

The Infineon XENSIV BGT60CUTR13AIP aims to become a key sensor for Physical AI to increase the intelligence of smart home and IoT devices.

The sensor supported by Infineon hardware and software, third-party modules, and transferable FCC certification to aid fast-time-to-market.


The  family includes on-chip processing powered by a hardware accelerator providing customers the flexibility to access either raw or pre-processed data. By handling radar processing on-chip Infineon’s solution offloads the host processor and supports a more efficient system architecture enabling smaller form factors and cost-efficiency.


Thanks to an integrated bootloader, the sensor  is able to run fully autonomous ultra-low power presence detection to wake-up the host, only if required.

With up to 7 GHz bandwidth and 11 dBm output power, the device  can detect both moving and static targets at an extended range up to 20m.

The cost- and footprint-optimized antenna in package (AIP) design features one transmit (Tx) and three receive (Rx) channels to enable up to 150° field of view covering both dimensions azimuth and elevation.

So, the  sensor enables Physical AI applications to become more intelligent and allow for more natural and intuitive interactions with users, targeting applications such as security cameras, smart thermostats, smart TVs, and HVAC systems.

Dedicated software stacks support advanced features including people tracking, gesture sensing, activity monitoring, and vital signs sensing so smart IoT devices can respond more naturally to their surroundings while protecting user privacy.
