mmWave radar sensor kick-to-open reference design

TIDEP-01036

Design files

Overview

This design provides a low-cost and small form factor reference for a Kick-to-Open (KTO) end application based on AWRL1432, TI’s single-chip 77GHz automotive radar sensor. The AWRL1432 device runs a machine learning based gesture sensing algorithm, which detects the kick gesture to activate a power lift-gate, power trunk, or power sliding door on an automobile.

Features
  • 12V automotive battery connection support
  • Very small form-factor design (36mm × 24mm)
  • Wide antenna with Field-of-View (FoV) — 120°
