XENSIV™ BGT60LTR11AIP Radar Shield2Go
Super low-power 60 GHz Doppler radar sensor with antennas-in-package

Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1

Overview

The Radar Shield2Go can be used independently as a "plug-in" radar sensor (e.g., with Arduino form factor
boards or another 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, making it easy to
adjust the four QS signals of the radar mechanically. The switches can be used to switch between autonomous
and SPI modes.
The Shield2Go comes with castellated holes to ensure several connection styles.
The Shield2Go family is recommended to be used with either Infineon's XMC™ maker board series (e.g.,
XMC1100 Boot Kit/XMC1400 Arduino/XMC 2Go/XMC4700 Relax
The BGT60LTR11AIP Shield2Go demonstrates the features of the BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC and gives the user a
"plug and play" radar solution.

Hardware and third-party software

The Radar Shield2Go is compatible with the
ModusToolbox™ (formerly Cypress) SDK. You can find a detailed user guide to integrate the BGT60LTR11AIP
library on the free and open-source repository GitHub.
Note: To use the existing library in Infineon's ModusToolbox™ SDK, the integration is done manually with
customized manifests, described on Infineon's GitHub.
The Shield2Go concept can also be attached to any board with an Arduino Uno form factor, by using an
Infineon MyIoT adapter.
1.1.2

Quad-state input pins

The MMIC has four quad-state input pins (QS1 to QS4) that give the performance parameters flexibility when it
is running in autonomous mode. These pins are used to configure the chip, as explained in section 4.2.2.
