Overview of the XE132 Entry Module Evaluation Kit 1.1. Introduction The XE132 Entry Module Evaluation Kit (The EVK) is a development platform targeting straight- forward use cases where small size, low cost and low power is key. The EVK features Acconeer’s XM132 Entry module, including the A111 radar sensor. The A111 radar sensor is an optimized low-power, high-precision 60 GHz radar with antenna in package (AiP) and integrated baseband.

XM132 module accessible for evaluation and debug. It also enables flashing of the XM132 via USB-UART or SW-DP. The XM132 Entry module is included in the XE132 Evaluation board. In Picture 1 you will find the XE132 top side where the XM132 is mounted. Picture 2 shows the bottom side of XE132.
The power source for XM132 is determined by the setting of the switch “S1”. When the LED D1 on the XE132 is lit, the XM132 is powered. If power is supplied via V_EXT and the switch S1 is in position “V_EXT”, both the components on XE132 and XM132 are supplied from the external power supply.
