IWRL6432FSPEVM Evaluation Module
Description
The IWRL6432FSP EVM is a form-factor optimized,
easy-to-use, 60GHz mmWave sensor evaluation kit
based on the IWRL6432 radar device with an onboard
FR4-based antenna. This board enables proximity
sensing and provides access to point-cloud data over
a UART interface with a 3.3V power input. This kit
is supported by mmWave tools, demos and software
including the MMWAVE-L-SDK
kit and the RADAR-TOOLBOX.

– Antennas are designed to operate from 60GHz
to 64GHz
• Three receive (RX) and two transmit (TX)
antennas
• Wide Field of View (FoV):
– 120° azimuth
– 80° elevation
• FR408HR-based PCB substrate
• Cost-optimized PCB rules allow for lower
manufacturing cost: no micro vias, only full stackup
vias, and no via-in-pad
• On-board DC-DCs generate 1.8V and 1.2V rails
for power optimized topology
Applications
• Industrial applications
– Automated door and
occupancy detection (people tracking, people
counting)
– Video doorbell, IP network
– Air conditioner, refrigerators and
vacuum robot
– Lawn mower, home
– Portable electronics, televisions, tablets,
earphones, Smart watches, gaming,
theater and entertainment
– Traffic intersection monitoring, gesture
detection, proximity sensing
