mmWave radar module for motion and presence detection

Texas Instruments’ radar module

IWRL6432WMOD is a compact 31mm × 15.5mm module that integrates a 60GHz patch

antenna, on-board power management, flash memory, passives and crystal, eliminating

the need for specialized mmWave system design expertise while providing simple

software configuration options for range, sensitivity, and regions of interest. The

module is distinguished by its comprehensive certification with FCC, RED, MIC that

eliminates cost and effort for certification at the end product. Additionally the

module provides either SPI based point cloud data outputs or GPIO based presence

indication which aids flexible implementation. By addressing customer readiness

challenges and enabling autonomous operation across applications such as motion

sensing, occupancy detection, and smart home devices, this TI-designed, supported,

and distributed device significantly reduces development complexity and accelerates

time-to-market for customers seeking to embed mmWave radar sensor capabilities in

their products.
