XENSIV™ BGT60LTR11AIP shield
60 GHz radar system platform
Autonomous mode operation
5
Autonomous mode operation
In the autonomous mode operation, the MMIC uses only internal detectors for motion and direction of motion
indication. The BGT60LTR11AIP autonomous shield can be powered directly through the castellated holes on
the sides of the shield or through a baseboard platform like the Radar Baseboard MCU7.
5.1
Battery-powered operation
The BGT60LTR11AIP autonomous shield, can operate independently with a battery that supplies to the VIN,
GND pins of the castellated holes, and will generate internal detector outputs on TD (TDet) and PD (PDet)
castellated holes depending on the movement of the target. As shown in Figure 20, the output signals TDet and
PDet are connected to LEDs, which glow according to target movement (TD) and direction of movement (PD).

Arduino MKR operation
The shield has dimensions such that it can be mounted onto an Arduino MKR series board as shown in Figure 21
as a plug-on motion sensor.
