2 Touchless button The purpose of the touchless button reference application is to employ the A121 sensor as a contactless button. This algorithm proves useful in scenarios where registering a button press is needed without physically touching a surface. A prime example would be in public spaces.
However, it decreases the risk of false detections if short sporadic noise appears. Since the data from the A121 sensor is complex, each data point includes both phase and amplitude information. The threshold takes advantage of both the real and imaginary part of the data and can be seen as an circular boundary in the complex plane.
0.05 m and far range should not have detections outside 0.24 m. Test setup For this test an A121 EVK (XC120 + XE121) was used. To test the presets a corner reflector was moved just outside the edge of the appointed ranges (0.05 m and 0.24 m), see Figure 2.

Test setup For this test an A121 EVK (XC120 + XE121) was used integrated with a blinkstick to give the user direct response on their action. The setup was encapsulated in a 3D-printed cover. No lens was used. See Figure 3.
