Highlights

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

The Ai-Thinker 60GHz mmWave radar modules feature four low-power management modes: power-off, standby, idle, and working. Actual test results show:

Rd-60: As low as 77.82μA when no one is present, and 1.67mA when someone is present.

Rd-61: As low as 56.25μA when no one is present, and 1.67mA when someone is present.

The modules can detect various human states within a region in low-power mode and can be applied to products such as door locks and doorbells.

Small Size, Plug-and-Play

The compact size saves product space and can be quickly embedded into the main product board. Plug-and-play functionality allows flexible application in various smart scenarios and terminal products. (Choose Rd-60 for Bluetooth needs; choose Rd-61 for a smaller size)

Excellent Anti-Interference Capability and Stable Performance

The modules offer superior detection capabilities, a simplified development process, and multi-protocol wireless connectivity. The patented AiP mmWave antenna technology achieves industry-leading levels in bandwidth, gain, and FOV performance, addressing pain points in the smart sensor industry such as unstable performance, insufficient detection capabilities, and complex development processes.
