The Rd-60 is a low-power radar module developed by Ai-Thinker, featuring an integrated 60GHz FMCW carrier AiP mmWave radar system and multi-protocol wireless connectivity, including BLE5.3/802.15.4/Thread/Matter.
The module includes a 1T3R AiP radar antenna array, a 2.4GHz transceiver antenna, crystal, and Flash.
It features four low-power management modes: power-off, standby, idle, and working. Configuration and data acquisition are achieved through digital interfaces such as UART(SPI/I²C).
- SMD packaging compatible with 1.27mm pin headers
- Radar spectrum ranges from 58GHz to 64GHz, with a continuous sweep bandwidth of 6GHz
- Radar antenna supports 1T3R, enabling configurations of 1T1R, 1T2R, and 1T3R
- Equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 17.5dBm
- Wide radar detection angle with a horizontal FOV of 120 degrees and a vertical FOV of 120 degrees
- Maximum detection range of 8 meters (depending on the target's RCS size)
- Minimum detection range of 0.01 meters (referenced to a human target)
- Module dimensions: 22.5*18.5mm
- Supported protocols: Physical layer supports BLE 5 and 802.15.4; protocol layer supports BLE 5.3

- 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.
- No Coding Required
UART Commands for Instant Parameter Adjustment
- Shell Control Mode:
Send corresponding shell commands via serial port to configure radar sensitivity, detection mode, and reporting frequency.
- Point Cloud and 1D/2DFFT Data Output:
Raw data on human movement distance, trajectory, speed, and breathing/heart rate can be obtained with one click for analysis, shortening the development cycle.
