GHz radar [1] capabilities when running in autonomous mode. It features a Bluetooth module (CYBLE-222014- 01) [2] that wirelessly connects to Infineon's “60 GHz Radar” smartphone app. This technology enables the sensor to detect the presence of an object and its direction of motion. The DEMO_60LTR11_AUTO_BLE sensor is an excellent tool for evaluating the possibilities of radar in Internet of Things (IoT) edge applications.
