Overview
This document mainly describes how to use the module of MR60BHA1 to develop a product and
explain the problems should be paid attention to during the process. The manual can help to reduce the
design cost and increase the stability of the product, which can improve the efficiency of development.
From the hardware circuit reference design, the layout requirements of the radar antenna and the
housing, how to distinguish the interference and the multi-function standard UART protocol output.
This module is a self-developed air sensing device, which is composed of a radio frequency antenna,
radar chip and high-speed main frequency MCU. It relies on a stable, flexible and superior algorithm
architecture to solve users' various detecting requirements. It can be used with a host computer
software or a host to flexibly output detection status and data. It contains several groups of GPIOs,
which can satisfy user-customized development requirements.

1. Working principle
radar transmits a 60 G-band millimeter wave signal, and the measured target reflects the
electromagnetic wave signal,and demodulates the transmitted signal, and then processes it through
amplification, filtering, and ADC to obtain echo demodulated signal data. In the MCU unit, the
amplitude, frequency, and phase of the echo signal are calculated, and the target parameters ( sleep
quality, breathing, turning over, body movement , etc.) are measured and the scene evaluation is finally
realized.
2. Hardware Design Considerations
The radar's rated power supply voltage needs to meet 4.9 - 6V, and under normal working conditions,
the rated current requires an input of more than 200mA. Power supply design, power supply ripple
should be≤ 100mv.
2.1. The power supply can refer to the following circuit design
figure 1

figure 2
2.2. Use wiring diagrams
Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the connection between the radar module and the peripherals
3. Layout Requirements for Antenna and Housing
PCBA: Need to keep the height of the radar patch ≥ 1mm than other devices
Shell structure: It is necessary to maintain a distance of 2 - 5mm between the radar antenna
surface and the shell surface
Shell detection surface: non-metallic shell, need to be straight to avoid curved surface, affecting
the performance of the entire scanning area

4. Static Protection
Radar products have static-sensitive circuits inside, which are prone to electrostatic hazards.
Therefore, it is necessary to fully protect against static electricity during transportation,
storage, work and handling. Do not touch and grab the radar module antenna surface and
connector pins. Only touch its corners.
Wear anti-static gloves as much as possible when handling the radar sensor.
5. Detailed function
5.1. Function point description
function points
State change time/function explanation
DP1: Someone/Nobody
No one to someone, report within 0.5s
From someone to no one, 40 s output no one state
DP2: Someone is stationary / Someone is
active
Static and dynamic switching, reporting within 0.5 seconds
DP3: Heartbeat rate
Output data once every 3 seconds, the unit is times/minute
DP4: Body Motion Amplitude Parameter 0 –
100
Output data once every 5 seconds [Reference: Description of Body
Motion Amplitude Parameter Output]
DP5: Getting in/Out of bed
From getting out of bed to getting in bed, someone exists to report
within 1 minute
From bed entry to bed exit, the exit state is output in about 40s
DP6: Sleep state (awake/light/deep)
When in bed, judge and report the sleep state once every 10 minutes
DP7: Sleep Quality Score
At the end of the sleep process, report the score of this segment of
sleep, with a score ranging from 0 to 100 points.
DP8: Respiratory/Heart Rate Rate
Output data once every 3 seconds, the unit is times/minute

6. Protocol description
This agreement applies to 60G Communication between the millimeter wave breathing and sleep
detection radar and the host computer.
This protocol briefly introduces the radar workflow, briefly introduces the structure of the interface
protocol, and gives the control commands and data required for the related radar work. The serial port
communication is defined as follows:
Interface level: TTL
Baud rate: 115200 bps
Stop bit: 1
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
