The MOD620 Combines bitsensing’s Groundbreaking Radar Technology with Infineon’s Industry Leading Chipsets

SEOUL, KOREA - Media OutReach - 16 February 2021 - Today, bitsensing, a South Korean imaging radartechnology startup, announces a partnershipwith world leader in semiconductor solutions Infineon Technologies to revolutionize the in-cabin experience with thelaunch of the 60GHz MOD620 radar. The MOD620 was designed by bitsensing andenabled by Infineon to provide a powerful safety monitoring solution thatdrivers can trust.

According to the Heatstroke Deaths ofChildren in Vehicles, Jan Null, San Jose State University, since the 1990s, 54%of children dying in hot carswas because they were forgotten by their caregivers. The MOD620 prevents thistype of casualty by efficiently detecting the presence and vital signs ofin-cabin occupants and sending the driver alerts if a child is left unattendedinside a car. Designed by bitsensing engineers and enabled by Infineon, theMOD620 comprehensive monitoring solution matches the specific in-cabinrequirements for any vehicle offering continuous and limitless detection, regardlessof clothes or blankets.

"Our partnership with Infineondemonstrates the significant progress we are making towards building safersmart cities and elevating connected living by designing radar solutions forall. This is an important moment in our company's history as we have dedicatedthe last three years to strategically engineering advanced radar technology thatcan utilize existing top tier chipsets to address this need in the market,"said Dr. Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of bitsensing. "bitsensing is the first and only Koreanstartup that can deliver all aspects of auto grade radar solutions, in-house.Our world-class engineers designed the MOD620 with the Infineon Chipset tooffer a new level of confidence in safety for an industry that demandsexcellence, reliability, and unmatched intelligence."

To build the premier in-cabin sensingradar, bitsensing rearranged the hardware configuration and redesigned theantenna. Powerful computing is achieved through the MCU making it possible forradar data to be signal-processed and calculated. The MMIC transmits andreceives signals through electro-magnetic waves for detection while the antennais integrated with RF energy from the radar transmission line into thepropagation medium and vice versa. These components work together seamlesslyfor an advanced caliber of radar performance.

"The engineers of bitsensing have yearsof experience in optimizing chipsets. Working with Infineon's state of theart radar offering, this allowed them to strategically and systematicallyarrange components for the MOD620's best-in-class radar performance," says Mr.How Cheen Ng, Director, Partnership Management & Digital MarketingCommunication, Infineon Asia Pacific. "Leading in innovation and committing tomeaningful partnerships to develop cutting-edge technologies is at the core ofwhat we do at Infineon. This powerful partnership produced a solution thattruly transcends safety and creates a better quality of life for all."

Versatile Single Radar Solution FeaturingSafety Performance

The MOD620 reliably detects in-carpassenger presence and location. It can also detect in real-time the presenceof a child left in a car, even when the car is shut down and locked as well asmonitor the vital signs of occupants and send an alert if there are anyabnormalities. bitsensing's in-house specialists partnered with various labsfrom top universities to obtain the most accurate data to produce this radarthat can accurately detect. The MOD620 offers a safe monitoring solution thatis necessary for the optimal autonomous driving experience.

Limitless Detection

bitsensing's MOD620 captures allrear-seat space maintaining the top quality for in-cabin solutions. The120-degree field of view combined with the customizable detection range up to2.5m provides an increased level of performance. Privacy concerns are alsoeliminated with the MOD620 as it does not rely on cameras for presencedetection. 

Customizable Antenna Design

The rearrangeable antenna in the MOD620allows for customization in channel length compensation, Field of View, andmatching circuits for transmitters and receivers. bitsensing's unique expertisein customizable antenna design allows for a quick and efficient process inmatching specific in-cabin requirements for any vehicle. The MOD620 is acustomizable cost-efficient radar that works in high-speed cars, day or night,with no interference to seatbelts.
