Overview
The radar Shield is shown in Figure 5. It contains the following sections:
•
RF part – consists of the Infineon 24 GHz radar MMIC – BGT24LTR11 and includes micro-strip patch
antennas for the TX and RX sections
•
Analog amplifier part –amplifies the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals from the MMIC for the
digital part
•
EEPROM part – to store data such as board identifier information
