This document briefly describes the function, circuitry, and performance of the 60 GHz autonomous reference design radar. The reference design provides the supporting circuitry to the on-board BGT60LTR11AIP monolithic microwave integrated circuit (SiP) Infineon’s 60 GHz radar chipset with antenna-in-package (AIP).

The module „REF BGT60LTR11AIP” contains a NON RF section on FR4 carrier PCB and a RF section built by the mmW RF system in Package (SiP), where the BGT60LTR11 System on Chip (SoC) is extended by the package with mmW TX and RX antenna.
VIN, and to the GND pin of the castellated holes or via other 2.7…4V power supply. The Ref BGT60LTR11AIP module can be soldered on a carrier board with Vcc preprocessing for more input voltage flexibility and to get a input voltage of e.g. 3V3 V for the module itself.

User´s guide to BGT60LTR11 AIP Simulation results for the integrated patch antenna To analyze the sensor radiation characteristics, the radiation pattern of the BGT60LTR11AIP autonomous reference design, is simulated along the H-plane and E-plane of the sensor. The realized gain of the transmitting antenna, in H-plane and E-plane at a frequency of 61 GHz, is shown at the left of the figure below.
