The Infineon Distance2GoL radar system is a demo platform for Infineon’s 24GHz BGT24LTR11 radar transceiver. The Distance2GoL consists of two boards – the microcontroller board with the XMC4700 and a radar frontend board (BGT24LTR11 Shield), which features a 4x1 array antenna for the transmitter and receiver sections. It is shielded with a metal cover and absorber material to get the best RF performance. The heart of the Distance2GoL module is the highly integrated BGT24LTR11 MMIC, which is a radar transceiver operating from 24.00 to 24.25 GHz. In order to keep the output frequency within this ISM band, this demo board features a software-based closed loop.
