With spring, temperatures rise again, reaching maximum levels in summer. But rising temperatures also mean that temperatures quickly reach 70°C inside parked vehicles, posing a danger to animals and children left behind in the car.
Equipped with Infineon Technologies' XENSIV 60 GHz automotive radar sensor (BGT60ATR24C), the in-cab monitoring systems (ICMS) detect micro-motions as well as vital signs of babies and animals left behind and sound the alarm.
Furthermore, the compact and cost-effective chipset addresses applications such as front-end radar for gesture detection, high-resolution frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars for distance measurement, short-range sensing operations, as well as detection applications. hidden in the radome.
The BGT60ATR24C enables FMCW operation with 4 GHz ultra-wide bandwidth in a small package. Sensor configuration and data collection are done through a digital interface. The integrated state machine enables independent data acquisition with power mode optimization for lower power consumption. The size and space optimized solution has two transmit channels (TX) as well as four receive channels (RX) and offers excellent thermal management.
Furthermore, the radar sensor enables additional functions such as seat belt reminder, resulting in an economical solution that further improves passenger safety in the car. The sensor is qualified for automotive applications in accordance with AEC-Q100/101.
