Description

This design is a low-power and small form factor reference design based on AWRL6432, TI's single-chip 60GHz automotive radar sensor. The design uses high RF performance PCB material and is targeted for in-cabin sensing end applications like Child Presence Detection (CPD) and Intruder Detection (ID). The AWRL6432 device runs machine-learning-based presence and detection algorithms to detect and classify the vehicle occupants.
