Infineon Technologies has announced that it is developing a sensing solution with Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP). The sensor provides Google ATAP and its developer community with a compact and low power implementation suitable for integration and use in both mobile and fixed devices. It is based on Infineon’s advanced 60 GHz transceiver technology while integrating the RF transceiver, antenna and control electronics in a single package. The potential applications include wearables, internet of things and automotive applications.
First implementations which provide gesture recognition and presence detection capability for a range of future devices were demonstrated by Google ATAP at its Google I/O Developers Conference in San Francisco. Infineon is working with the Google ATAP team on this radar-based sensor and already provides solutions for wireless communications of the future to other divisions at Google.
