This reference design, with IWRL6432, targets applications for bill of material (BOM)-optimized millimeter wave (mmWave) with low cost and small form factor. This 60GHz mmWave design contains a form factor of 16mm x 33mm and provides 120˚ field of view, up to 15 meters pedestrian detection and angular resolution of 19˚. The radar sensor is developed with FR4 material using 4-layer PCB stack-up. This design guide addresses development of the design architecture and cost optimization steps.
This reference design is tolerant to IPC Class 2 rules.
