Introduction
1.1
60 GHz radar system platform
The 60 GHz radar system platform is the demo platform for Infineon's 60 GHz radar solutions. It consists of the
Radar Baseboard MCU7 as the microcontroller board and a radar sensor board, like the BGT60ATR24C shield for
Infineon's 60 GHz radar sensor chip. This application note focuses on the BGT60ATR24C shield. Detailed
information about the Radar Baseboard MCU7 can be found in the corresponding application note [1].
Figure 1 illustrates the Radar Baseboard MCU7 with the BGT60ATR24C shield. The shield has to be plugged into
the longer connectors on the baseboard's bottom side with an orientation as shown below.

Key features
The BGT60ATR24C shield is designed to showcase the capabilities of the BGT60ATR24C. This device offers
customers design flexibility in terms of their desired antenna configuration. It consists of two transmit and four
receive channels. The BGT60ATR24C shield facilitates fast prototyping and system integration, as well as initial
product feature evaluation. This board offers developers the flexibility to choose their own platform depending
on their preferred use cases. The sensor it incorporates various use cases, serving a broad array of applications
– including presence detection, LBC, ROA, proximity sensing, people counting/tracking, gesture recognition,
monitoring vital signs, etc. Presence detection may only require 1 mW of power in the sensor under certain
circumstances. In an automotive context, it can be of value in ROA, LBC and dashboard control. Other areas
where it might be applied are smart speakers, home/building automations and security/safety.
