SC1220AT2-B-113

Evaluation Kit for CMOS 60GHz Radar Sensor
 Overview“The 3D radar sensing evaluation kit (EVK),Sensor Board
SC1220AT2-B-113, provides an evaluation
environment of the Socionext 60GHz radar sensor(SC1220AT2).

Interface Board

The EVK consists of EVK main unit (sensor board,interface board, and DragonBoard™*), accessory,and the software package which is to be used
under the host windows OS PC connected with
the EVK via a USB cable.

USB(micro-B) DragonBoard™

the United States and other countries.

Evaluation Kit of SC1220AT2

 Functions
 Selectable three sensing results through API :1. 1D/2D/3D location detection result
2. FFT operation data
3. IQ data

 3D location library for several use-cases.
a) 3D Color-map– 30cm range for finger location, 50cm range for handlocation, 7m range for human location.

 GUI based evaluation software :– View 3D location library results on GUI application.
– A rich set of viewers, including 3D color-maps,
heat-maps, and distance graphs.
– Gesture application that recognize hand movements.

the handto the host PC, on which the 3D location
sensing software is installed, by a USB cable.

Notes : In order to detect objects like ahuman and its hand, the EVK should beplaced on a horizontal plate like a tableand be faced in the vertical upper direction(z-axis) as shown in the right figure.
