BGT60TR13C shield
XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform
Board version V2.2
About this document
Scope and purpose
This user guide describes the function, circuitry, and performance of the BGT60TR13C shield, part of Infineon's
XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform. The shield provides the supporting circuitry to the on-board
BGT60TR13C monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) Infineon's 60 GHz radar chipset with antenna-in-
package (AIP). The shield offers a digital interface for configuration and transfer of the acquired radar data to a
microcontroller board, e.g., Radar Baseboard MCU7.
Intended audience
The intended audience for this document are design engineers, technicians, and developers of electronic
systems working with Infineon's XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar sensors.
Reference Board/Kit
Product(s) embedded on a PCB with a focus on specific applications and defined use cases that may include
software. PCB and auxiliary circuits are optimized for the requirements of the target application.
Boards do not necessarily meet safety, EMI, quality standards (for example UL, CE) requirements.

BGT60TR13C shield XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform System specifications System specifications Typical current consumption The typical current consumption of the whole 60 GHz radar sensor platform, consisting of a Radar Baseboard MCU7 and a BGT60TR13C shield, can be found in Table 1. -
Page 7: Hardware Description
The dimensions of the BGT60TR13C shield printed circuit board (PCB) are 17 mm x 12.7 mm. Mounted on top of the PCB is a BGT60TR13C, Infineon’s 60 GHz radar sensor with integrated antennas. Because the antennas are integrated into the BGT60TR13C chip package, the PCB can be manufactured using a standard FR4 laminate. -

BGT60TR13C shield XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform Hardware description To reduce the system phase noise and frequency jitter, it is recommended to short the ground contacts of the different power domains. Therefore, it is essential to have a solid ground plane right underneath the chip with no signal lines. -

Page 16: Phase Noise Measurements
BGT60TR13C shield XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform Measurement results Phase noise measurements The phase noise is a way to characterize the RF signal. Thereby, the signal with an offset from the carrier signal is put in relation with the carrier itself. In radar data processing with BGT60TR13C, the typical IF frequencies are in a range from about 10 kHz to 1 MHz. - Page 17 BGT60TR13C shield XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar system platform Measurement results Figure 16 shows the phase noise measurement of a typical BGT60TR13C shield over three frequencies (58 GHz, 60 GHz, and 63.5 GHz). The measurement was performed directly at the RF signal with a harmonic mixer. The phase noise is clean for all tested frequencies.
